Well spotted. I happen to know the driver and he had warned me that 075 was a bit "claggy"...so I arranged my journey back from Gloucester to ensure I saw the train at Bristol Parkway.

Not one of mine.....

66057 on 3.5.22 6A02 empty fly-ash train from Avonmouth waiting at a red signal at the long closed and probably rarely photographed Filton North (?North Filton)  Platform...

The station is parallel to the East end of Filton runway and the rear of the train is where BAC Level Crossing used to be - where aircraft built or converted in the aircraft hangers crossed over the line to reach the runway. The gates and concrete base have only recently been removed.
In front is a three-way junction - left to Patchway, straight ahead for Bristol P'way and to the right for Filton Abbey Wood.
