802101, GW 09.37 London Paddington-Paignton (1C75, 12L) & 166201, GW 09.27 Cardiff Central-Portsmouth Harbour (1F11, 4L), Westbury station
A busy scene at Westbury station was added to by
some of the gathered enthusiasts who always seem to frequent the platforms at this active place in deepest Wiltshire! To the left 166201 is impatiently waiting to leave with the now late-running 09.27 Cardiff Central Portsmouth Harbour service. The reason for its impatience is that it is a connecting service with the 09.37 Paddington to Penzance train that is seen arriving some ten minutes late being worked by 802201. Things did not improve for the 1C75 as it did not make up its lost time arriving at its Devon destination twelve minutes late. It looks as though the leading cab has been in collision with some poor unfortunate creature on its journey from London!
