With its jumper cables clear to see this Class 33 is easily identified as one of the nineteen push-pull-enabled 33/1 locomotives used to haul and push the 4TC units on the non-electrified section of track between Bournemouth and Weymouth. They were not used exclusively on this route and were often found elsewhere as is the case here with 33113 approaching Salisbury leading the 1L83 10.10 Waterloo to Salisbury sem-fast service. Notice the lone car, a Mk. II Ford Granda, on the A36 Salisbury inner relief road. How often today on a Saturday morning would just one car be seen on this very busy piece of road?
