A Christmas Eve treat from GBRf and SWR as Class 57 No. 57303 hauls Class 458/4 No. 458419 with barrier coaches No.’s 64664 & 64707 past Baiter Park, Poole reporting as 5Q45 1118 Wembley Receptions 1-7 to Bournemouth T&R.S.M.D. The train was running 46 minutes ahead of schedule on arrival at Poole.
The EMU is the last member of the class to be delivered to Bournemouth depot following the completion of the 458 refurbishment programme carried out at Widnes Transport Tech. The locomotive and barrier coaches departed Bournemouth depot as the early running 5Z66 1851 Bournemouth T&R.S.M.D to Eastleigh East Yard, but by that time I was in the pub enjoying a festive drink - 24/12/2024
