37685 Uffington 18 September 2010

37685 passes Uffington on 18 September 2010 with the Vintage Trains 1Z57 09:20 Solihull to Plymouth 'Down Devonian' railtour. Although basically a positioning move to get the stock down to the West Country, Vintage Trains commendably sold tickets for the journey, with participants being able to return via First Great Western services. I had deliberately chosen this location, as it is just about the only spot on the Didcot to Swindon line where the sun would be on the nose at the booked time. The train was incidentally running exactly to time at 11:36.
