That's certainly a pair of very unusual locos working the flying banana at the moment.

[@thewiltshiretrainspotter]

The usual for that area, they're class 73s and they can run on both diesel and third rail power.

[@waleedarif6740]

The question is, Will the 158s still be running in regular pessanger service ten years from now? If the
answer is no then the company will be wasting money.

[@thewiltshiretrainspotter]

I'm afraid as plans stand they will not be, the 158s & 159s are due to be withdrawn by SWR in around 2028/2030, it'll be a shame to see them go...
