47345, D1013 & D120 Claydon (Gloucestershire) 2 July 1991

An unexpected bonus at Claydon (Gloucestershire) on 2 July 1991. 47345 has an unusual addition to its normal load, as it heads north in the last of the evening light with the late running 6M29 14:00 Taunton to Warrington Speedlink. Class 52 D1013 Western Ranger & Class 45 D120 had been exhibits at the Bristol Bath Road open day over the previous weekend, and were now hitching a ride back to the Severn Valley Railway. This view has changed considerably. The prefab building and caravan have gone, and a row of tall trees now block out the view of the Cotswold Hills.
