B966 & 55026 Standish Junction 22 August 1987

The products of Derby and Linwood join forces at Standish Junction on 22 August 1987. BR Derby Works built Class 108 set B966 (54202 & 53618) & Pressed Steel Class 121 bubble car 55026 (B126) head south with the 2A66 17:30 Cheltenham Spa to Swindon service. This dramatic lighting persisted for quite some time, with the Gloucester area a little to the north consistently under some really dark clouds.
