With the rain coming down now Andy (standing just behind me) and I have had to venture out from the shelter of the canopies at Didcot to take this photograph! Having come to halt for a crew change 66565 gets away leading the 6Z86 11.10 West Drayton Frays sidings to Machen quarry empty stone train. With the construction of HS2 in full swing, the number of stone trains heading for the capital from all directions has grown significantly including to and from places such as Machen just to the east of Caerphilly.
