Avoiding Eastleigh
After a Freightliner derailed at Eastleigh on 28 January 2020, it took several days to remove the derailed wagons and repair the track. During that period, export car traffic for Southampton was diverted from Reading, via Guildford and Fareham to rejoin the normal route at St Denys. Most trains ran at inconvenient times or during the night but there was one southbound working in good light. 66.136 approached Wokingham with 4O40, the 13:06 Morris Cowley to Southampton Eastern Docks on 1 February 2020.
