Class 59/2 No. 59202 has been standing in Woodborough loop for 40 minutes and gets away 10 minutes late after the HST service from Plymouth has passed. It is allowed 33 minutes for the run up over Savernake and down to Bedwyn, and is still accelerating its full load 4400 tonne stone train (Whatley Quarry to Dagenham Docks) up the gradient, temporarily eased through Pewsey platforms - to spectacularly good effect as it was running right time when it reached Bedwyn, 23rd June 2015.
