Flying 59
59201 stormed past Brimslade with 6A18 on the glorious spring morning of 7 April 2025. Having been kept on the main line instead of being looped as booked at Woodborough, the 09:18 stone train from Whatley Quarry to Oxford Banbury Road needed to get to Hungerford loop before the next eastbound IET caught up, something it achieved with 10 minutes to spare. A friendly wave from the driver showed he was enjoying the challenge!
