I arrived on platform 1 about 1525 today. Just to the north is a longish siding with a shortish loop on it. There was a DBS class 66 and 15 hooded steel carrier wagons which appeared to be running round its train by splitting it into two portions that were short enough to fit in the loop. When I arrived the loco was in the middle of the train pushing one portion and pulling the other!
I don't know if this is a regular move or where it was coming from or going to, and I had to catch a train before it had finished whatever it was doing. Being steel carriers I would guess to or from South Wales, so was it going to/from Birmingham via Stroud due to some problem with the Chepstow route?
