56105 Steventon (Stocks Lane) 15 April 2019

56105 approaches Stocks Lane level crossing, Steventon, on 15 April 2019 with the 6L39 05:00 Bridgend Ford Sidings to Dagenham vans, conveying Ford engines. Note how one Wood Pigeon has decided to take flight, while the other sits it out on the overhead wire! Unfortunately since this train changed from Class 70 to 56 haulage, it has reverted to the more direct route via the Severn Tunnel, rather than via Gloucester. So instead of getting some nice Class 56 pictures in the Golden Valley, I will have to be content with the restricted choice of very poor locations on the photographically ruined Great Western Mainline.
