Mid-train loco heading for the Mendips at Bedwyn

A video shows a locomotive positioned at the rear of a train heading towards the Mendip quarries from London. This arrangement, which appears to be relatively new, involves the loco being dead in transit while attached to the rear half of the train. The purpose may be to reduce shunting time, though this is not confirmed. The footage includes locations such as Bedwyn and Sway, with headcodes 1B42, 1D42, and 1R42 identified. Some metadata details are missing, including specific stock and operator information.
