Finally, after a miserably dull day, the sun decides to come out very weakly, as 37248 passes Hailes with the 16:35 Toddington to Cheltenham Race Course service on 18 October 2009. The loco had only arrived at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway a few days previously, and after working one train double headed with 37215 in case of problems, this was its first outing on its own. The former West Coast Railways maroon livery seems to be an almost exact match for the 1950s BR maroon livery of the coaches.
