    Originally I thought this to be a Bristol to Weymouth working but the destination blind says Portsmouth Harbour. So I am going with 150266 working 1F27 1630 off Cardiff Central to Portsmouth.
    43128 emerges from the shadows as it slowly runs through the gardens heading for Bristol with 1C49 160 from Paddington.
