Hungerford to Westbury (Heywood Road Junction) – Hastings DEMU cab ride – 24 March 2018
*The Sixty Marches* charter, Part 2:
Cab view from Hungerford to Westbury (Heywood Road Junction). Filmed from Hastings Diesels Limited’s preserved Hastings DEMU on Saturday 24 March 2018, during the outward leg of The Sixty Marches private charter.
.
In this video we travel the 33 miles and 2 chains across part of Berkshire and most of Wiltshire, along first the Berks & Hants Extension and then the Stert & Westbury Railway, from Hungerford to Westbury (Heywood Road Junction). We climb alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal, past Bedwyn where the Network Turbo we’ve followed since Reading is turning back in the siding, to our respective summits at Savernake. There the canal passes beneath the railway in Bruce Tunnel at the site of Savernake Low Level station – and the remains of the Midland & South Western Junction Railway (M&SWJR which ran from Andover to Swindon) cross over us shortly beforehand and run alongside. We then descend, reaching our train’s maximum permitted speed of 75mph as we run through Pewsey station, before turning in to the Woodborough Down Goods Loop to allow faster trains to pass. Under way once more, our line descends and curves left after the site of Patney & Chirton station as we follow the ‘new’ 1900-built Stert & Westbury cut-off route avoiding the twisty route via Devizes whose closed remains climb up beside us. On approach to Westbury, we turn right at Heywood Road Junction in order to head for Westbury station rather than the avoiding line; as the video fades, we are signalled to the right towards Bath.
.
Did you know? Crofton Pumping Station was restored and reopened in 1970 by Sir John Betjeman.
.
During the weekend when this was filmed, the Great Western route via Didcot was completely closed for electrification work, with many diverted services vying for pathways over the “Berks & Hants” route.
.
This outing began at Hastings and ran via Tonbridge, Redhill and Guildford to Reading, then via Hungerford (part 1) to the Westbury area (this video) where we turned right at Heywood Road Junction, through Bradford-on-Avon and Bath to Filton, through the Severn Tunnel into Wales, to Maindee Junction (Newport) for the line through Abergavenny to Hereford; the return journey was via the same route. We intend to produce video footage of the entirety of the rest of this journey to Hereford.
.
Video footage is from an unattended unmonitored forward-facing cab-camera in motor coach 60116 Mountfield. The soundtrack mostly comes from the camera in the leading cab; however, on one occasion there was audio which we are not permitted to publish, in this case the soundtrack you hear on this video is instead an accurately synchronised audio recording made in the rear cab.

Outward:
Our return journey’s route was changed just a day or two before the trip because of a bridge strike — from Hereford to Filton Abbey Wood we were supposed to have been routed via Worcester and the Gloucester area to Yate and Bristol Parkway, but as things turned out we had to retrace our steps via the Severn Tunnel. The following shows our original route.

West Ruislip to Willesden SW sdgs via Greenford & Ealing Bdy – Hastings DEMU cab ride – 27 May 2017
Oxford Rover, Part 3: Cab view from West Ruislip to Willesden South West sidings, via Greenford and Ealing Broadway. Filmed from our preserved Hastings DEMU on Saturday 27 May 2017, during our Oxford Rover railtour.
.
In this video we cover 10 miles and 27 chains, and our unusual itinerary takes us along five distinct pieces of railway—some of which are seldom seen by passenger trains:
1) Chiltern Main Line (West Ruislip to Northolt Junction)
2) New North Main Line, or Acton to Northolt Line (Northolt Jn to Greenford)
3) Greenford branch (Greenford to West Ealing)
4) Great Western Main Line (West Ealing to Acton East Junction)
5) North London Line (Poplar Spur – Acton Wells Junction area)
.
Video footage is from an unattended unmonitored forward-facing cab-camera in motor coach 60116 Mountfield. Audio was simultaneously recorded in the rear cab, motor coach 60118 Tunbridge Wells, and accurately synchronised with the video. The leading-cab audio from the camera could not be published because of the traincrew conversing.
.
This outing began at Hastings and ran via Tonbridge and Bromley South to Clapham Junction (see Part 1), then Hounslow and Virginia Water to Reading, Didcot and Oxford; the return leg ran from Oxford via Bicester and the new Gavray Junction to reach the Chiltern Main Line (see Part 2). This video shows its return progress from West Ruislip to Willesden South West sidings where it reversed direction, running Down the North London Line to South Acton, and thence via New Kew Junction, Barnes Bridge, Clapham Junction, Brixton, Penge, Bromley South, Orpington and back to Hastings. No further leading-cab video footage was captured after our reversal at Willesden South West sidings.
