Date: 21st May 1990:
dep: Yeovil Junction 2.24pm
arr: Basingstoke 3.57pm..56 Late
Comments: I joined the 12.28pm from Exeter at Honiton
with 50002 Superb. At Axminster the front coaches of
the train were covered in oil. We continued at slow
speed to Yeovil Junction, where we waited for a
replacement loco from Salisbury. This was 50016 Barham.
From Salisbury we took the path of an up "Semi-fast",
and called additionally at Grateley, Whitchurch, and
Overton. This was my only encounter with 50016.
