The track on the Long Marston branch had been partly replaced in early 2018, but there was work still to do at the end of the year, and so a train of track panels and ballast was booked over the Cotswold Line on 11 December 2018. The unforecast sunny day was welcome in some ways, but in mid winter it severely restricts the number of photographic locations. 66585 is seen here approaching Grintleyhill Bridge, near Combe, with the 6Y40 10:24 Hinksey to Honeybourne North Junction, with 66592 Johnson Stevens Agencies bringing up the rear. The diminutive Combe station can just be seen in the background. There is a slightly more side view available here, but not if you want to quickly reposition yourself for the much better lit going away shot!
