It was not uncommon to find a Class 50 on Westbury shed but it was not a regular occurrence. They usually ended up there as a result of a problem when they operating a west of England express being removed from the train and deposited until either a local repair could be undertaken or until they could be moved to Laira or Old Oak Common. Here, 50044 'Exeter' sits in Westbury yard with a class 47 just putting in an appearance to the left.
