31601 “Bletchley Park ‘Station X’” is approaching Chetnole halt at 16.22 on the 2O90 14.28 Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth train. 32452 is tagging on the rear. This is 31601’s first outing in the rather garish Wessex Trains pinky-purple livery. It was all shiny and clean and in stark contrast to the verdant green countryside all around! I got wind of this working and ventured out to catch this working and the return service, seen at Maiden Newton.
