57306, 64664, 458402 & 64707, 11.40 Widnes Transport Tech-Wembley Yard (5Q63, RT), Victoria bridge
With the sun just too low in the mid-October afternoon
to illuminate the relatively shallow cutting at Victoria bridge just south of Roade 57306 leads the 5Q63 11.40 Widness Transport Tech to Wembley Yard transfer. Immediately behind the former Thunderbird is Arlington Fleet Services translator coach 64664 'Llwet' with 64707 'Labezerin' at the rear that together form set T7. Sandwiched in the middle is a very smart-looking refurbished (but no one coach shorter) 458402. Having been at Alstom's Widness facility the Juniper set is returning to southern territory for use, not on the Portsmouth route as originally planned, but on limited outer suburban services from London Waterloo.
