The HEA 4-wheel hopper wagon is misleading, as Class 33/1 no. 33101 is actually shunting its short nuclear flask train along the siding adjacent to the station. HEA wagons were being used as barrier vehicles. This train travelled up from Winfrith, Dorset and would be destined for Sellafield, Cumbria. But not with 33101! I'm not sure of the route taken or where the train would be re-engined. A Class 101 DMU is likely on a Bristol to Weymouth sewrvice.
