Timings for the Westbury-Long Marston trip can be found on real train times :)

There also seems to be a Washwood Heath-Long Marston move on Monday - timings. Looks like something may have come from Guide Bridge to Washwood Heath prior to this trip, SBRail machines perhaps?

A shame only one tamper is to appear, due to NDS not wanting machines to negate contractual requirements I believe.

Anyway, should be an interesting event............

Looks like Kirow 81611 may now be heading to LM (instead of 81612, or aswell?)

There's also a Taunton Fairwater-LM move tomorrow - times here.

Reports on some of the gen groups suggest one of the locos caught fire!

If anyone is planning on visiting tomorrow, my advice is, be very early!

The "access" system is very slow, can take up to 45 mins to get in, just as well is isn't a real possession site access!
