37116 Shorthampton 8 August 2024

37116 passes Shorthampton in the rain on 8 August 2024 with the 1Q23 06:45 Bristol Kingsland Road to Derby RTC Network Rail test train. Harry Needle's 37607 (on hire to Colas) is bringing up the rear. The southbound run of this train over the Cotswold Line the previous day was cancelled, due to a problem with one of the locos. Instead, it ran in a much later path, direct to Bristol, via Cheltenham.
