After more than three months of incarceration for the crime of being a resident of Boris's Britain, the shackles were released on 29 March 2021. By late morning the sun was trying to break through and the game was on. What better subject for my first photo of the new era than a red class 59, in fact the premier red Class 59 and bell end leading as well.
59.201 approached Kintbury with 7A17, the 10:24 Merehead Quarry to Acton T.C. loaded stone train at lunchtime, watched by a pheasant in the neighbouring field.
