With the Elcotrostar that had arrived at Didcot from London and terminated a few minutes previously and then cleared the platform heading off into a siding 66621 was able to pass through at line speed leading the 12.28 Hayes Yard to East Usk Yard empty stone train. Unfortunately, the signallers had other ideas with the train being put into the up (but bi-directional) loop to the west. It was held here for some time before continuing its journey to South Wales.
