Not quite what it seems - Class 59/2 No. 59202 was originally in charge of the lightly loaded Whatley Quarry to West Drayton Frays aggregates on 18th June 2025. When this loco was failed en route at Pewsey, classmate No. 59206 was despatched from Westbury and hauled the failure back to Woodborough Sidings, crossing over to the Down Loop as the upside was already occupied by a following stone train. Eventually No. 59206 was able to run round and the duo is seen under way again running through Hungerford some three hours late after knock-on effects to GWR services on the route.
