70003, 09.31 Crewe Basford Hall-Southampton MCT (4O29, 13L), Victoria bridge Due to the closure of the line between Oxford and Didcot for repairs to Nuneham viaduct’s abutments, all freight was being diverted, most of it via the already busy WCML. One of the diverted services was the 4O29 09.31 Crewe Basford Hall to Southampton led, as it usually is, by a Class 70, on this occasion 70003. Class 70s are not particularly common on the WCML so it was good to see this particular diversion in action. Keywords: 70003 09.31 Crewe Basford Hall-Southampton MCT 4O29 Victoria bridge Freightliner
