Preymesser Logistics building, Newcombe Drive
Alongside the giant warehouse of M. Preymesser Logistics, off Newcombe Drive, Hawksworth Trading Estate. Lorries are asked to "park short" and report to the office before driving up to the other end of the building to load/unload. I did not see the signs, and walked the whole length of the building looking for the office.

Class 59 Hauled Stone Train.
This train hauled by a Yeoman Class 59 Locomotive is seen passing Swindon Works in 1986. The success of these privately owned locomotives, led to the import of the ubiquitous Class 66 Locomotives used by EWS on the now privatised railways.
