    Landslip at Wanborough

    Local radio reporting that the slip is near Westwood Lane Bridge. Having driven under the bridge many times, I can confirm that it's on a fairly high embankment. There was an embankment slip in Beech Lane, which is off Westwood Lane, in January 1986.

    Class 442s - Now at the end of the road and to be withdrawn permanently

    That's the film right enough. My mate who filmed it is an ex-driver, who used to sign 442s. He seems pretty convinced, I don't know what to think myself.
