In order to move D1015 Western Champion from the Severn Valley Railway to the Swanage Railway for their diesel gala, the loco traversed the Cotswold Line light engine on 8 May 2024, running as the 0Z52 11:10 Kidderminster Severn Valley Railway to Eastleigh Arlington. Due to the ASLEF strike, this was the only train of the day over the Cotswold Line, and with nothing to get in its way it was 33 minutes early when I photographed it approaching the Burleigh Road bridge at Cassington.
