Unfortunately just managing to avoid the best of the autumn sunshine, 50015 Valiant & 50008 Thunderer pass through the long closed station at Minety on 19 October 1991 with their penultimate railtour - the Pathfinder Tours 1Z16 07:58 Paddington to Cardiff 'Hoover Hoop'. The train had already traversed the Oxford to Worcester Cotswold Line, before crossing the hills for a second time via this Gloucester to Swindon route.
