A few more photos I found lurking in an album, if anyone is interested.

Westbury Depot, October 1988. 

Westbury Depot, March 1989.

Again, Westbury Depot, March 1989. At one time, every road, on the depot, had a line of loco's stabled over the weekends but this reduced considerably after the introduction of Yeoman's class 59's.

It's later on Wednesday 24th October 1990 and "Dusty Bin" has reached Westerleigh Refuse Transfer station. After two run rounds and the shove back in, with the four container wagons it's brought from Stoke Gifford.

The night has drawn in and it's started raining

As soon as the last loaded container has been lifted onto the final wagon the crew will work the train back to Stoke Gifford, with yet another run round in Yate Middle and attach, the four wagons, back on to the remaining wagons it left on Stoke Gifford Up reception. The loco will then run light to Bath Road Depot for fuel and water and the crew will be off home.

Does anyone mind if I park this picture here?

It's Wednesday 24th October 1990 and the relief crew have arrived at the County of Avon's Barrow Road transfer station, Bristol, ready to work "Dusty Bin" to Stoke Gifford, then forward to Westerleigh, where Avon Council had another transfer station, via Yate Middle and Yate South Junction.
