RHTT
Rail Head Treatment Trains or RHTTs are used to clear dead leaves, and the slippery goo they create, off the track every autumn but most run at night or are worked by MPVs not locos. The 14:52 from Didcot to Didcot via Westbury covers the Berks & Hants but by late October the light has gone before it reaches the un-electrified section west of Newbury. 66151 and 66155 worked the first 3J41 of the season on 6 October 2021 and are seen here passing Hungerford Common.
