37215 Hailes 6 April 2008

The perfect combination of sun and snow on 6 April 2008 made a visit to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire's Diesel Gala an essential choice. In perfect conditions, 37215 is pictured passing Hailes with the first northbound working of the day - the 10:00 Winchcombe to Toddington service. The Cotswold Hills in the background are still well covered in snow, but it had already started to disappear from the fields and although there is still some clinging to the branches of the lineside trees and bushes, naturally the spectacular show seen whilst driving to the location was already starting to melt in the sunshine!
