70811 South Marston 21 August 2023

Usually when the 6M50 08:01 Westbury to Bescot departmental working runs with a 6X50 headcode, it is conveying a rake of point carriers. However, on 21 August 2023, 70811 hauled just a single Railvac unit. It is seen here passing South Marston in a very lucky patch of sunshine. The Railvac unit was left at Hinksey, and the loco carried on as 0M50 to Bescot.
