59101 Uffington 11 December 2023

Looking very smart in its freshly applied Heidelberg Materials livery, 59101 Village of Whatley passes Uffington on 11 December 2023 with the 6C48 12:49 Appleford to Whatley Quarry stone empties. This was running 20 minutes late, as it had to wait at Challow for a procession of late running GWR trains. Despite several of these trains running over half an hour late, the GWR website said there was a 'Good service across our network', which shows how low their standards are!
