A regular afternoon working on the GWML is the daily 6B33 13.00 Theale to Robestson empty bitumen tankers. Running the other way, this train is very heavy so a 3100hp class 60 is usually rostered for it. In this image, 60019 'Port of Grimsby & Immingham' leads the train through the Wiltshire countryside past Bourton to the east of Swindon. The DB livery and the tankers strike quite a sight against the winter foliage especially when illuminated by the low afternoon sun.
