With all the engineering work going on in the area ,I suppose it was bound to be lightly loaded for a Bank Holiday,and so it was,as 70801 passes with 6M50 with flats as a consist,which don't exactly put much strain on the class 70

I had intended to phot the Eastleigh to Hoo further along the walkway,however has the overnight front had not cleared enough to allow the rising sun to show its face,i took the lazy option and sat in the car before continuing my journey,and would you believe it ,on hearing the 70 toot passing the nearby foot crossing,the sun makes an appearance....hence this grab shot.

Worting Jnct. as always been a handy shot after work on the way home but as autumn approaches the sun angle gets worse ,and the warning signs are here has even at 5.30 pm the change from a month ago is apparent,so it wont be much longer before a shot of 6Y42 Hoo to Eastleigh will be gone,for some time at this location anyway,however 70802 did the honours this evening,but will they still be on this type of work in 6months time.

70016 thunders through the station on 4O09 Trafford Park to Southampton liner.
Although devoid of any containers on the front end it does allow a mediocre view of the entrance to Micheldever or Litchfield tunnel.
The construction on the far right hand side,just above the stored car carriers,is a wartime RAF fuel and oil depot,built in 1939 and continued to receive fuel until approx. 1995 from Ripple lane,and seemingly is still on the reserve list.
