Hastings Diesels have been unlucky with the weather for this private charter to Hereford, with light rain is falling as the 'Thumper' diesel-electric No. 1001 crosses Hungerford Common on a very busy day when both passenger and freight services from the Swindon route are being diverted via the Berks & Hants line to Westbury and the Avon Valley on 24th March 2018. Power car No. S60116 'Mountfield' leads with No. S60118 'Tunbridge Wells' at the rear - the train is running close behing the local service to Bedwyn having been routed into the 'up' platform at Newbury while both trains were overtaken by one of the many HST services on the line today.
