8th - 13th June 2020


47712 Lady Diana Spencer in the yard at Eastleigh Works, 11th June.

59005 Kenneth J Painter passes Dunbridge with 7O40 13:35 Merehead - Eastleigh, believed to be the first time that this had run for a few weeks. However, the following Wentloog Freightliner train appears to have been rerouted from Bathampton via Swindon and Reading.

The second wagon was 81.70.6774.055-2 a HOA newly constructed by Greenbrier-Astra Rail in Poland, arriving in the UK during May, and delivered to Merehead on 25th. These bear a remarkable, but not complete, similarity to the 37.70.6955.xxx-x series IIA built at the same facility by Wagony Swidnica in Poland in 2008-09, the company is the same as 'Greenbrier Swidnica'. The new wagons appear to be in their catalogue as their Tanpps 55 m³ - T05A, with Axiom LN25 bogies. A further 20 of these wagons have just arrived at Wembley.
