Trains at Bucknell 22/7/2024 (ft. Network Rail 950001)

A visit to Bucknell station on the Heart of Wales Line to see Network Rail's 950001 unit operating 2Q08 Derby RTC to Landore TMD. Like the other Heart of Wales stations, this is a peaceful, scenic and quaint halt, so definitely a nice spot to visit, despite TfW incorrectly saying that my train back was cancelled and that I'd have to wait three hours for the next one! Instead, my train back was over 50 minutes late as a result of a signal failure at Craven Arms earlier in the day, which threw off the entire Heart of Wales timetable and held my train at Knighton for almost an hour - the 950 seemed to slip through soon before the chaos started thankfully.
