Trains at Swindon | Diverted Tug CLEARS OUT ON Approach To Swindon | The WESTBURY Waver at the HELM!

This video captures a rare and lucky diversion through Swindon, centred around Class 60 no. 60095, hired in from GBRF to DC Rail 🚆

Under normal circumstances, 60095 would not pass through Swindon on this working, but due to another freight train suffering engine trouble on the Berks & Hants Line, this service was diverted — placing the Class 60 firmly in the right place at the right time. And the Tug was driven by no other than the Westbury Waver himself!

Filmed trackside at Swindon, the video showcases the diverted DC Rail Class 60 alongside a variety of other freight movements, offering a busy and varied look at freight operations through this key junction. Adding to the realism (and frustration every spotter knows too well), a GWR IET completes a full bowl, perfectly — and painfully — blocking the shot of a Freightliner Class 66 passing through with a freight train.

From unexpected diversions to classic freight traction and modern passenger interference, this video is a genuine slice of real-world railway action — unpredictable, unscripted, and exactly why being trackside is always worth it.

If you enjoy rare workings, freight action, and busy junctions, this one’s for you.
