The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's resident Class 108 DMU (51950 & 52062) saw extensive use before the number of ex mainline diesel locomotives on the line enabled it to be retired from service. On 19 March 1995 it is pictured passing Didbrook under a dramatic sky with the 11:30 Toddington to Far Stanley service. Although it often ran with wildly optimistic destinations displayed (e.g. Cardiff Central), this one is a little conservative, presumably because it wasn't considered worthwhile making a Far Stanley destination blind for the temporary terminus of the line! |
