The sun appears weakly through steady rain as Freightliner Class 59/2 No. 59205 glides smoothly round the curve into Hungerford with the late-running 10:24 Merehead Quarry to Colnbrook aggregates, slowing for further delay in the loop ahead. In the preceding minutes both station announcers have been warning of fast trains approaching and the scene is duly completed by DCR Class 60 No. 60029 'Ben Nevis' hurrying through in the down direction with an extra Willesden to Bristol East consignment of empty box wagons on 21st April 2023.
