    The last train of the day before heading back to Wareham was the return railtour from Minehead to Victoria, 1Z95 1645 off the West Somerset town. Motive power is preserved English Electric type 4 50049 "Defiance". The train approaches from the west.
    Whilst the outward steam tour used the avoiding line, the return diesel working goes via the station. It is always nice to see heritage traction on the main line. A good afternoon.
