Unusually, for an empty stock move, West Country 34046 'Braunton' was operating on its own without any assistance from the trailing diesel. It is seen working hard through Roade cutting hauling the 09.05 Crewe HS to Southall LSL with D1935 (47805) ‘Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013’ at the rear. Notice that the SR locomotive is carrying the correct headcode indicating a class three (empty stock working) but that the train was given the reporting number of 5Z47 as is more common for such a train today.
