Seen at 15.20, 66033 is on the long-standing 6V52 TFO 13.34 Fawley to Plymouth Laira fuel oil in 4-wheel TTAs, and two TEA bogie tanks, which had run into the yard earlier, allowing the loco to run-around, before heading to Salisbury, Westbury, and then westwards. This train was a favourite in the south west in later years, being one of the few remaining regular freight flows in the west country, latterly only on a Tuesday. The 66 has since left these shores, finding new work in France, along with many other former EWS Class 66s.
