1st February 2017
With echoes of Eric Carmans hit 'All by myself' playing, lonely Colas Class 70/8 No.70804 trundles back to Westbury on the 1st February 2017 in a rare light engine movement. The locomotive had hauled the 7C27 05:27 Westbury - Exeter Riverside stone, however, the loader at Exeter broke down and wasn't able to unload the stone. Rather than leave the expensive locomotive sitting idle until the loader could be repaired, No.70804 returned to Westbury as the 0C28 13:45 Exeter Riverside - Westbury without its normal rake of wagons in tow. It's seen here at Oath in the large expanse of the Somerset Levels.
