UK, Powys, Dovey Junction. 9717

This is train 7F79, 15:20 empty fuel tankers from Aberystwyth to Stanlow oil refinery. It ran once a week on Wednesday's, August 5th 1987 was a Wednesday apparently. The down working was fairly early, too early for me anyway. This train went over to 37 haulage not long after I discovered it even ran, possibly due to sectorisation. This shows 20097 and 20151 passing Dovey Junction station having just had the signal towards Machynlleth. I think this train changed engines at Shrewsbury but I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows that for sure.
