As a CrossCountry 'Voyager' speeds past into Taunton station, two Colas Rail class 70s marshal their engineering trains in Fairwater Yard. Work is taking place between Castle Cary and Westbury so they have had a long run to bring their trains into the correct position for the engineers. A rail recovery train from Oxford is on the arrival road and empty wagons to collect old ballast, which have come from Westbury via Bath, is on the reversible running line beside it. Colas Rail's 70807 will soon take the rail recovery train up to the work site. This will clear the line for sister locomotive 70810 to run round to the front of the open wagons before it can follow. The other trains in the yard are the high-output trains which are based here and powered by Freightliner class 66s.
