59202 & 59103 Challow 11 July 2018

The previous day's late running of the diverted 7A09 06:27 Merehead Quarry to Acton Mendip Rail 'jumbo' stone train was bad enough at 202 minutes, but on 11 July 2018 that was increased to 237 minutes! 59203 & 59103 Village of Mells are pictured passing Challow unusually routed via the main line. The normal problem with photographing this train in the Swindon area is that the light is too head on, but the problem when it is nearly four hours late is that the sun has gone off the front!
