With the trial of Class a 59/2 on the Robeston to Westerleigh Murco tanks taking place to eliminate reliance on Class 60's,the Robeston to Theale tanks would seem to be in the hands of a single Class 66,abeit with a shorter load,however for a while it seemed a good bet for a pair on the Saturday workings,as here with 66006+66180 passing Badminton with 6B33,the return empties to Robeston.As time would tell this all proved that a tug was far better on these workings as even today they still mainly dominate the workings.
