Some engineer’s trains were booked on this route during the day. They aren’t likely to run to time, so it is a matter of hoping they are sighted elsewhere and then heading to the station & waiting. Then I received the message that one had passed through Worcester (thanks!!) so grabbed a camera & headed for the station. The light was fading, nothing unusual at Old Hill, a DMU came through & I expected the freight soon after. Silly me! It was another 20 minutes before I heard the noise of the freight train as it slowly climbed the bank, assisted by a banking loco. Never did find out the code, but believe it was Abbotswood Junction to Bescot.
Those awful shots with the light behind the train!
