December 2007 was due to see the end of Class 180 operations with First Great Western over the Cotswold Line, so on 23 October 2007 a concerted effort was made to photograph these units on my local line. It proved somewhat frustrating, as most of the locations I used during the 1980s, when the remaining through trains were loco hauled, have become completely overgrown. However, this location has stayed comparatively free of bushes. 180111 heads south from Moreton-in-Marsh with the 10:23 Worcester Foregate Street to Paddington First Great Western service. |
