Frost lingering in the hollows
59204 hurries the 6O68 Westbury Tarmac to Crawley loaded limestone boxes along the Coastway route, pictured at Church foot crossing between Emsworth and Southbourne on a bright but chilly late November day. Note the new front end lighting banks that highlight the lemon yellow loco ends compared with the more usual warmer yellow applied to rolling stock.
The frequency of this service has sharply declined of late, running once or twice a week compared with 4 days a week when first introduced. The Chichester stone has not run for weeks again and the 6O40 / 6V57 Ardingly stone routed along the Coastway is also a very fickle runner, running once this week.
