8th May 2019

A schedule appeared on RTT for Wednesday 9 My 2019 showing that a Leicester to Long Marston light engine move followed by a class 5 train to Eastleigh would run on Wednesday 8 May 2019, I saw from a friend's message that it was to be 57305 and 47813 topping and tailing a class 117 DMU. I grabbed a camera bag and headed out. As the departure time from Long Marston was 12.15 and it was already 11.55 I went straight to Honeybourne and after arriving on the road bridge saw that 5Q86 was sitting at the staff hut rather than at the signal in the station as is more usual. It wasn't long before the branch signal was cleared and 57303 led the train towards the main line and off to Worcester for a reversal. The vehicles were from the former Chiltern water jet train, 977987 and 977988. The unit's brakes were not operational and a through pipe between the locomotives was in use; on the side not visible here. Peter Tandy.
