Unfortunately, the sun went behind some stubborn cloud just before the crucial time thus the lighting of what I had actually gone out to see was somewhat compromised! Travelling at a very slow speed that appeared to be forty miles per hour and under a Q code meaning it must not deviate from its route under any circumstances the 04.26 Wembley Yard to Widness Transport Tech. passes between Roade and Ashton. I suspect it was running under a Q code as a Southern unit could easily go out of gauge on unchecked track. South West Trains' 458523 is going north well away from its DC haunts for attention at Altom's facility that specialises in internal refurbishments and repaints (as per their recent work on the Pendolinos). The amazing train is being hauled by 47749 'City of Truro' with 69008 out of sight on the rear.
