Worked 2V30 this evening, the 2130 Yeovil Pen Mill to Yeovil Junction service, which I believe I’m correct in saying is the shortest service that SWR operate, at just 1 mile 62 chains long with a journey time of just 5 minutes 🚂

My last booked working on both the Class 158/9 fleet and also on the West of England line. Unless anything comes up on Saturday when I am booked to be spare, it’s a goodbye to the West of England line and to the Class 158/9 fleet, it’s been a pleasure and thoroughly enjoyable! 🚂

Whilst sitting spare today, I noticed the last 158/9 unit I needed to work (8885) was heading towards me, a call to get the okay to take over the train, and I got to work it Yeovil to Salisbury. My last day based at Yeovil and completing the diesel fleet was rather fitting 🚂
