Wearing its large logo livery and sporting its high-intensity centre headlight 50020 'Revenge' approaches Salisbury Tunnel Junction leading the 11.10 Waterloo to Exeter St. David's 1V11 service. This slide was rescued from the rejects box being very badly exposed but with some time in Photoshop, a reasonable image has been presented. Extensive vegetation growth, particularly to the left of this scene, has made this view almost unrecognisable today. It was of course these trees and their errant leaves that contributed to the long and uncontrolled slide by 159102 on the night of 31.10.21 that found it colliding with 158762 and 158763 in the entrance to Salisbury's Fisherton tunnel just behind where I standing on the A30 London Road bridge.
