60076 Uffington 22 April 2015

Shades of yellow and orange! The Colas livery mirrors the oilseed rape at Uffington on 22 April 2015, as 60076 runs along the Great Western Mainline with the  6V62 10:44 Tilbury Riverside to Llanwern steel empties. The Met Office had predicted a cloudy afternoon after a bright start. However, the cloud was later than forecast, but even so by the time this was due there was plenty of cloud building up both to the north, and the south. Luckily I was in a clear patch, but it didn't last long afterwards. Clouds starting crossing the sun as I was on the long walk back to the car, and by the time I had driven home (15 miles) it was virtually full cloud.
