An image from Matt Robinson shows 33108 taking one of the biomass hoppers for a gauging run on the 26th. Three further images from Hampton Loade Station and Kevin Moseley added here for July 26th show the train, including as part of the consist recently repainted 'Shark' ballast plough DB993876 which was purchased by the SVR in 2017.
