20308 & 20309 Little Haresfield 25 June 2011

It was barely light when 20308 & 20309 set off with the Spitfire Railtours 1Z37 06:07 Gloucester to Penzance 'Kernow Voyager' railtour on 25 June 2011. Here they are a few miles into the journey, passing Little Haresfield in terrible light. The forecasters had correctly predicted poor weather, but the prospect of this pair of 20s, plus the bonus of 2 x 37s and 2 x 31s, all on railtours to the Mazey Day celebrations, made it virtually essential to venture out for the heritage traction feast.
