Daytime loco hauled trains are a bit of a rarity through Wokingham and most are timed to pass at the worst possible time for the light, so the appearance of a 12:30 from Reading Triangle Sidings to Tonbridge West Yard in the schedules for 5 May 2023 was most welcome. Not only was the timing close to perfect, the sun came out and the motive power was more than satisfactory. 37099 led 3Z01 southwards between Winnersh and Wokingham.
