Rapidly approaching the long closed Coalpit Heath station (opened 1903 and closed 1961) which is situated between Bristol Parkway and Westerleigh Junction, is 4V94, Doncaster Roberts Road-Portbury empty 'Biomass' working. Leading the consist is G.B.R.F Class 66/7, No 66701 with sister loco 'Europorte' Class 66/7, No 66733 tucked inside. The Green signal in the distance on the opposite line indicates that the route has been 'set' towards Swindon and ultimately Paddington by the Signalman at Bristol Panel Box, on 5th April 2012.
