Wednesday October 14th, D1015 was booked to work from Quidhampton to Tavistock Jn with some China Clay tanks. I decided to take a trip to Westbury for some general spotting, then onto Castle Cary to catch the beast in action.
Unfortunately not everything went according to plan. Something happened somewhere between Thingley Jn and Bristol, forcing some HST servces to be diverted via Melksham and Westbury, for onward working to Taunton. This caused D1015 to be late by about 19 minutes at Castle Cary.
Also, something on D1015 'popped' and the brakes were applied pronto! Don't know exactly what happened, but the engines went off, and she came to an abrupt halt at the road bridge, just west of Castle Cary station.
All in all however, a good few hours.
Enjoy!
