Monday saw a day of shunting to move some stock from Overton that does not fit within the remit of the Overton Goods Yard Project.

Helped by the HST Group, the Class 14 was joined at Overton by the HST power cars in order to collect the two Mk3 coaches that make up the HST set. All done under a full line possession, the Mk3s were collected from Overton, whilst the Class 14 went to Peterborough to collect some wagons.

Once back from Peterborough, the wagons were put into the siding at Overton to allow the HST to pass.

Then the remaining coaches in the first siding were pulled out to take to Wansford, with the wagons pushed in against the bufferstop.

After several months of planning, this is the first visual evidence that the project is underway.

The wagon group will be on site at Overton this Saturday as we start to tidy the site and make plans for an open weekend at the beginning of May….more details to follow on this event as soon as possible.
