60042 "The Hundred of Hoo" and the 6B13(Q) 05.10 Robeston to Westerleigh loaded Murco bogie oil tanks curls off the flyover at 09.31. This line is now the up goods and the two centre lines the up and down passengers, with the down goods line over to the left. The train will take the Gloucester route at Severn Tunnel Junction, where it will then turn south down through Standish Junction and Yate, and gain the Westerleigh branch. A convoluted but necessary journey. The vegetation here has been a problem from time to time, partially obscuring the view of trains coming off the flyover. It's fine on this day though.
