heya.

Dunno if anyone can help on this, three Freds spotted in westbury (wilts) today (mon 1st june 2009) operating two trains. The first heading to Taunton area hauling green freightliner box waggons, (possably ballest?) leaving westbury at 9.40pm I think the number may have ended in 66??4. Can anyone let me know the number of this train and the working.

Also, at same time, top and tail 66's the last being 66 615 on a yellow track machines working, something to do with track ballest it appears, seen several photos of this train in railway herald website and I know it often works between westbury and taunton yards. However, this working bypassed westbury and headed towards Reading via the B&H. I was unable to identify the leading "fred" but the rear fred was 66615. Can anyone help with this working and what the leading fred was.

Missed it as i had to chase the 66 on the green waggons to the junction in turn missing the leading 66, which looked as tho that train was stoping further up the line so chased that missing the other 66 and the train actually didnt stop! So only could get 66 615,

Any info on both workings would be appreciated. thanks
