51365 & 51407 (formerly Western Region set B427) passes under the B4632 Toddington to Broadway road near Station on 9 April 2011 with the 11:30 Toddington to Laverton round trip, returning to Toddington. This is on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's newly opened northern extension. Note the continuously welded rail. Set B427 left the Western Region in 1989 and became Tyseley set T304, before returning to the West Country at the very end of its main line career. It is preserved at the Plym Valley Railway, who have kindly loaned it to the GWR to operate their northern extension, while steam trains work between Winchcombe and Cheltenham, a landslip near Winchcombe having prevented through running between Toddington and winchcombe. |
