All running via Taunton (reverse or run-round), the former was headed by 66076 with the second train top n'tailed by 60058 and 60062 (noted near Uphill junction at 10.54). The loco(s) on the third working were unidentified.
03/10 60019 was on the 6C01 09.11 Newport Alexandra dock junction Bristol East depot steel (and 6C02 14.06 return). The Barton Hill water cannon, top n'tailed with Class 67 locos was seen in Temple Meads during the day.

12/10 Steam 45231 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion The Worcestershire & Sherwood Foresters Regiment made it's local area mainline debut working Steam Dreams 'Cathedrals Express' (08.53 Victoria-Bath/Bristol and 16.44 return). Another additional passenger working was 67013 on 1V80 09.44 Victoria-Bristol TM VSOE and 1O92 16.04 return. Due to problems with points between Swindon and Westerleigh Junction, trains were diverted via Bath including First/GW passenger services at least one being reported as running 45 minutes late at Parkway. On the freight side the following were noted;- 60058 on 6B33 Theale-Robeston fuel tanks running on a not regular day due to a late running outward working the previous day, 66069 with 4D12 13.09 Didcot-Avonmouth empty coal HTAs (16.42) and 67012 on the 6M33 16.23 Avonmouth-Wembley freight (16.54).

13/10 37405 became the second Class member to work the 6C01 09.11 Newport ADj-Bristol East depot (and 6C02 14.06 return) steel service, the empties returning early around 12.00. 37411 became the first Class 37 to work this train on 16/05.
14/10 Mainline-blue liveried 60078 worked the East Depot steel, which had originated at Bescot and ran via Bristol Parkway (noted passing here 14.30).
15/10 A Network-Rail DMU set ran 2Z02 09.12 Derby-Exeter visiting loops at Charfield and Yatton en route. The set returned via Yeovil, Castle Cary and Westbury to Didcot three days later. FLHH's 47830 was noted stabled in Kingsland Road yard. Some Franchise news says the Strategic Rail Authority is to cut the number of Bristol-Penzance services so the route can be improved for First/GW services in 2006. Local Cardiff-Bristol and Cardiff-Weymouth trains are expected to be increased along with extra passenger capacity. First Group have tendered to run the new Great Western franchise in 2007.
16/10 A view of Barton Hill depot at 16.30 found;- 08516. 67025/028 (on water cannon. see note below). Fertis loco;- 56104. Stored locos;- 37077/(377)/379/696. C/Stock;- 94190. Kingsland Road sidings;- 47830. 66562.

He was nominated by customers for his assistance and professionalism towards his job.
19/10 Certainly a most unexpected appearance was that of 47840 (on loan to First/GW from Riviera Trains) piloting 57602 on 1C99 23.50 Paddington-Penzance First/GW sleeper services in the early hours. The Class 47 returned on the 1A40 22.00 Penzance-Paddington sleeper having swapped with 57605 which had worked in on this train and worked the 1C99 onwards to the West Country.
20/10 60078 worked the 6B66 11.15 Westbury-Newport ADJ departmental.
22/10 Pathfinder's 'Growling Grockle' (1Z37 19.42 Fri. York-Penzance and 1Z37 09.45 Penzance-York via Barnstaple) booked to feature two EWS Class 37s has been put back to 01/04/06 due to operating costs with loco hire. EWS are expected to still have a small pool of Class 37s by this date, the trip having originally been planned to run as a Class farewell.
27/10 60003 was on the 6C01/6C02 East depot steel, the return being noted conveying two wagons carrying steel slab which had presumably been sent to Bristol in error. Later, 66614 worked 6Z39 12.25 Jersey Marine-Newton Abbot Hackney yard loaded stone being held in Pilning loop between 16.15-16.55! The train was then allowed to go onto the mainline in front of the 15.30 Swansea-Paddington First/GWHST!! Both trains seemed to come to a stand before the Patchway tunnels at Cattybrook, assumed due to a speed restriction.
31/10 Silver/Corus 60033 worked the 6C01/6C02 Bristol East depot steel.

Gloucestershire

18/10 At 05.30 a wagon in the formation of the 6V19 18.04 Immingham-Margam freight service headed by 60018 + 66221 became de-railed and damaged 5 miles of track north of Barnwood. Initially there were diversions via Hereford, along with some freight cancellations before single line working was introduced. Double track operations were not back to normal until around a week later.
27/10 A 6Z83 10.25 Toton-Caerwent allocated for 67030 was cancelled. The train's formation was redundant TPO and mail vans for scrapping, the coaches having previously been stored at York.
Although no further developments have taken place at Sharpness, it is reported that Class 66 locos will not be allowed over the branch line from Berkely Road junction due to track condition suggesting it could be a Cotswold Class 47 operation who are using Gloucester yard at present.

Portbury Branchline

03/10 66050 worked the 6X52 14.11 Portbury-Washwood Heath loaded cars.
11/10 60064 was unusually employed on the 6V22 19.51 Washwood Heath-Portbury coal empties being noted passing Ashchurch at 22.02.

The 6X52 car service was reported as running M,T,Th,FO and is expected to return to it's original 16.30 departure time during November.

Severn Beach Branchline

A plan is under consideration to turn this branch line into a special guided road bus route. Track would be replaced by a concrete running surface with channels. The multi-million plan could possibly solve some of the city's transport problems if built, although the use of part of the branch as a diversionary route to long distance passenger and freight services, such as in June 2004 for the Filton junction remodelling, would be lost forever.

Taunton

03/10 The town's traffic problems were eased with the opening of a new road over bridge replacing a rail level crossing at Silk Mills to the west of the town's station. The £14.5 million project which had been proposed several years ago was officially opened in a ceremony by a local hospital raffle winner driving a vintage car. The bridge was fully open to road traffic during the following weekend. The sidings at nearby Fairwater's yard, are to be developed by Network Rail as a track relaying train base for Freightliner Heavy-Haul during 2006. A loco stabling point is also expected to form part of the site.

PRESERVATION & INDUSTRIAL MATTERS

SW Steam Co., Steam Locomotive Engineers, Easton, near Weymouth (07/09/05).
A correction and additional information to this report is as follows;-
The Island of Portland, not Portland Bill should form part of address.
The unidentified red liveried 0-4-0ST Albert is AB 2248/48 from the East Kent Light Railway, Shepardswell. The sentinel loco is confirmed as formerly 'Cunarder'(?) 4wVBT S6515/26, now '2F' No. 47160 of the Swanage railway.

MISCELLANOUS

Bridgwater
The former rail served Royal Ordnance Factory at Puriton, which boasted a standard and narrow gauge rail system is set to close completely in 2007. A standard gauge branch line was built from the Bristol-Taunton mainline at Huntspill being opened in 1940. The line due to the nature of goods conveyed, often ammunition and explosives, did not appear on any area Ordnance Survey maps until the late 1980s, despite being seen by hundreds of motorists who whilst travelling on the M5 which passes under it! The line was closed at the end of 1990 and the track lifted by the mid nineties. The two Andrew Barclays standard gauge locos moved to the West Somerset Railway in May 1994. The factory currently has 130 employees. Another closure in the area earlier this year was the Bridgwater Cellophane factory which had been the home of Class 03 No. D2133 from July 1969 to July 1996. The sidings for the works were opened in 1937 when over 3,000 people were employed. Changes and new cleaner production methods during mid 1994 required no further rail oil deliveries and the sidings were lifted the following year mainly for use in preservation on the Avon Valley and West Somerset Railways. With D2133 also going into preservation on the West Somerset Railway, the works continued running until May 2005 with 250 employees operated by Innovia Films.

Pilning
The station has undergone refurbishment with new platform signage, repainting of the footbridge and re-glazing of the upside platform waiting shelter. However local engineering company Dean & Dyball who had set up portakabin offices and a storage yard compound on the upside moved their operation from the upside area to Avonmouth during August. This station, which remains underused, still only sees an up morning and mid afternoon down stopping service (the latter not on Saturdays) each day excluding Sundays.

Correction to the November 2005 Magazine;-
24/09 47813 was not named 'Research Endeavor' at Temple Meads as stated on this date. The name was merely the winning entry for a competition organised by the Meningitis Foundation who received profits from the Heartland Railtours organised trip the loco was hauling with 47316. The locos were reversed via the St.Phillips Marsh loop before leaving Temple Meads due to problems with 47 316 leading the train. 47813 was in fact named John Peel after the late Radio 1 DJ (who sadly died last year) at Bury St.Edmunds on 08/10.
