Late Start
The 08:40 stone train from Merehead to Hanwell Bridge Loop departed around an hour late on 7 April 2025, losing more time before passing me at Brimslade at 11:18, around 80 down. Once over the top at Savernake 66596 and 59001 did a good job of making up time and 6A40 was only 20 minutes late when it reached its destination.
