66221 and 66187 passed Crofton, on the descent from Savernake Summit towards Bedwyn, with 6A53, the 05:13 stone train from Tytherington to Appleford, on 8 July 2022. This is one of several additional stone trains running to supply HS2 construction sites with stone. Appleford is a curious choice as it's some distance from HS2.
