My journey home from a client in a nearby village happened to coincide with the passage of an out-of the ordinary light engine move so it had to be worth calling in to capture the scene. As I had my tools in the car I took the opportunity to thoroughly strim the nettles and long grass along the length of Victoria bridge making photographic access to the parapet much easier!

66427, 13.37 DIRFT-Tilbury (4L48, 417L), Victoria bridge 
 If it's lunchtime and a DRS train is seen heading south near Roade with Tesco wagons in tow it's the 4L48; but not today! It's teatime now and regular performer 66427 is seen leading the 13.37 DIRFT to Tilbury running over three hours late. Eventual arrival at its destination was nearly seven hours after its due time; I hope that the boxes got loaded on the appropriate ship at Tilbury!

33025 & 33029, 15.30 Burton-ot-Wetmore-Southall WCR (0Z29, 95E), Victoria bridge

I photographed the leading Class 33 back in 1980, see.... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/29805504204/x33025-bristol-temple-meads-cardiff
