3Q00 at Eastleigh
After a protracted period out of service to rectify various teething problems following their initial release to traffic, the class 69's are back out working - on probation. The annual weed killer (vegetation management) contract is ideal work to regain confidence in their reliability, as all services feature a top and tailed formation and often work overnight when a failure would not adversely affect the passenger network.
69004 leads 69003 on to the Chandlers Ford branch working the 3Q00 Woking up reception to Exeter vegetation control train for treatment of the west country main line and branches.
Missed the booked stop at Wallers Ash down loop, recessing in one of the yard reception lines
