Deputising for a class 50, this Railfreight loco was
hampered by it's 60mph restriction, and the running as
far as Southampton was therefore un-interesting. The
driver who took over at Portsmouth was either not
aware of 33053's status, or chose not to be, for the
running up to Buriton, and onwards to Guildford was
superb. It was a pity about the checks from Surbiton
onwards; with a clear road we should have been only
3 late into Waterloo not 9 The station announcer then
apologised to passengers for the late arrival of the
Portsmouth train, which was due to the use of an
underpowered diesel locomotive. Rough justice !
