166221 Dorn 1 August 2011

166221 slows down for the approach to Moreton-in-Marsh station, as it passes Dorn on 1 August 2011 with the 1P61 14:35 Great Malvern to Paddington First Great Western service. As the newly reinstated up line has not yet been brought into use, the train is using the single line which has had to suffice on this section of the Cotswold Line since 1971. Unfortunately this train was running well behind time, due to the previous down train being delayed. This is just the kind of problem that the reinstatement of double track should alleviate. If 166221 had appeared at the correct time it would have been in full sun, rather than the hazy light seen here.
