There's a loco on there this evening, first time in years. Probably since the eighties?

I thought it was officially OOU?

It was booked on some time ago, nearly a year perhaps?

Ah that explains why it wasn't available for Cotswold 47's a year or so back. Always had to use No 1.

Good to see it back in use

We went through a spell of various operators stabling lots of locos in the Temple Meads area. We managed to get the ground frame booked back on (it was only booked off because the rodding was crushed under a few skips that were stabled there apparently). Ever since that was done we've seen a decline in locos staying over at Bristol!

Still, it was never going to see regular use because it requires the driver to let himself in/out. It's just nice not to have equipment booked off!

Lets hope the gauge doesnt spread from rotten sleepers then.

Also how ironic removed skip from siding and fill it with a shed
