800016 Stonehouse 21 October 2021

800016 arrives at Stonehouse station on 21 October 2021 with the 2B96 11:59 Cheltenham Spa to Swindon GWR service. There were probably more passengers than usual on this train, as the earlier 1L72 10:59 Cheltenham Spa to Paddington train had been cancelled. Note the clouds in the background. The Met Office had indicated that it would be sunny with a few clouds, but the BBC had predicted uninterrupted sun. The BBC's forecasts have generally been hopeless ever since they ditched the Met Office for MeteoGroup, allegedly because the Met Office was too expensive. You obviously get what you pay for!
