Twerton Tunnel 21.5.09
A few hours down the Tunnel, courtesy of a 'cock up' by school
Myself and 50031mad, battled the wind and dust and here are the results. 2 Class 66s, unfortunately both light engine! EWS 66030 works 0B65 Westbury-ADJ (Apologies for wrong caption on video) and a very horny 66602 works 0Y29 Thingley Jnc-Kingsland Road A fair chunk of hsts as usual, although they were all over the place, time wise today. A few 2tones from them, including a fantastic 're-pairing' of 43002+43003 or 253001 as it was once most commonly known. The rest is local traffic, SWT 159019, FGW 158s and 150s, liveried in FGW, Arriva & Silverlink! Like I said before, a few 2tones, nothing out of the ordinary. Enjoy!
Twerton Tunnel 5.9.08
A miserable September afternoon waiting for Tangmere. In the mean time, I filmed the local traffic. For the first time in a while, ‘The Bins’ was actually on time! 66584 at the helm, with a very slight tone, if you listen carefully! 43088+43141 15.00 Pad-Bristol 43155+43017 16.30 Bristol-Pad 153380 Weymouth-Great Malvern 158956 Portsmouth-Cardiff 158958 15.30 Cardiff-Portsmouth 158957 Worcester Shrub Hill-Weymouth A couple of 2tones from the last 2 158s, sorry folks not much horn wise today. Enjoy.
