43050 at Bath on 5th Nov 20'
Displaying Colas vinyls, ex-EMR HST 43050 approaches Bath leading 1Z23 0611 Bristol High Level Siding to Tyseley L.M.D. test train on 5th November 2020.
Following the previous day's dissapointment when this passed South Marston in full sun, as I was walking accross the field after it missed its booked stop at Challow, I was determined to get a shot of it's return working.
The forescast was for widespread fog in the south west, clearing mid-morning, and I figured that the fog would probably lift sooner in the city than the countryside. I needed a reason to leave the house on the first day of lockdown, so I drove to the supermarket and then cycled in freezing fog. My first choice location was Newton St Loe, but this was under a thick blanket of fog 30mins before this was due, so I cycled into the centre of Bath just as the sun broke through and the fog evaportated. In the distance can be seen the fog over Twerton, and in the going away shot fog can be clearly seen to the east of the city... flic.kr/p/2k3WB1N
I was pleased to get this in the sun and the result went some way to make up for the previous day's mistake stopping at the petrol station en-route to South Marston thinking I had plenty of time - aargh!!!
ex-EMR power cars 43050 + 43060 were on short term lease from Porterbrook to assess their suitablility in place of 67s and 37s for Network Rail's infrastructure monitoring.
