20905 & 20096 Fladbury 17 December 2005

Most unusual traction for the Cotswold Line! With the houses of Lower Moor visible in the background, HNRC owned Class 20s 20905 & 20096 make a fine picture in the low winter sunshine as they approach Fladbury (between Pershore and Evesham) with the 5Z22 08:52 Gloucester to Long Marston stock move on Saturday 17 December 2005. The "mini HST" rake includes former Virgin Cross Country power cars 43121 & 43158 en-route from MoD Bicester for slightly less secure storage in the former Army depot at Long Marston.
