    A move to Moreton, a couple of miles east of Didcot and Freightliner class 57, 57010 hauls the daily 4O51 1002 Cardiff Wentloog to Southampton Millbrook freightliner service. I've seen this working many times over the years and this is the best loaded I have ever seen it!!
    DMU 166201 comes through the cutting on the down relief with a class 2 local service, 2N32 1103 Paddington to Banbury.
