A numerical coincidence at Cheltenham on 23 June 2023. 221138 & 221139 are picture passing each other just to the south of Cheltenham station. 221138 would ordinarily be working the 1V53 11:03 Manchester Piccadilly to Bristol Temple Meads CrossCountry service, but due to a problem with the train, all the passengers had just been turfed out, and it was continuing on to Bristol empty stock. 221139 is heading in the opposite direction with the late running 1M45 13:00 Bristol Temple Meads to Manchester Piccadilly service. |
