Not quite live, but taken about an hour ago

66720 tucked up for the night at Westbury after working 6V41 from Eastleigh, replacing 66778 which has been on this working recently. Later in the morning, the loco will take the Super Tench behind it, along with a Rail Delivery Train, to Eastleigh as 6O41.

A few from me over the last few days

Finally got a Maritime on the bins! Not a location I would expect to get one, either! 66005 'Maritime Intermodal One' leads 6C03 Northolt - Severnside along the down reception at Westbury. The loco was experiencing issues, but thankfully the train was top and tailed, so the driver contacted the signaller and got put into Westbury to reverse and use the tail loco to lead to Bristol.

Stabled over the Easter break, 66623 sits in Westbury at the head of the following Tuesday's 7O52 to Chichester. Prior to the Easter closure, Mendip traffic was still going quite strong as terminals stockpile stone. How long will the stockpiling continue before the depots run out of space?
The mixed bag of wagons to the right are sat in the cripple sidings waiting attention from the wagon maintenance guys.

66084 sits in Westbury yard atop a train for the weekend, 6W01 to Burngullow, formed of 10 sidetippers and 66004 on the rear. Once returned from Cornwall on Sunday evening, both locos went to South Wales on 0V14 from Eastleigh, which calls at Westbury to pick up and drop off locos.

On one of the warmest days of the year so far 66170 sits in the virtual quarry at Westbury, stabled atop the bulk ballast set which would be unloaded after the bank holiday weekend. The neat ballast and trackwork is a result of the recent relaying work, as can be seen the ballast didn't have to be moved far from the stock pile to the worksite!

 A couple from MKC in the space of 12 minutes this afternoon. Between them there was a Europhoenix 37 too, but a Pendo bombed that one.....

Today. 66154 on 646V Newhaven Day Aggregates to Acton TC, running 1 minute late, passing Hamsey AHBC with the ‘Ratty Rake’ of very loud ex TML (Yeoman PXA) wagons. Part of my social distanced daily exercise close to home before anyone goes off on one.  :)
