D2182 trundles past the 11½ milepost between Winchcombe and Hailes on 10 July 2009 whilst working the 11:00 Winchcombe to Toddington service during the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's 'Shunterfest' Diesel Gala. This superb lighting didn't last long, and as I heard the 03 approaching I just wished it could go a bit faster. Although its top speed is theoretically 28mph and therefore very speedy for a shunter, it seemed to takes ages to appear from behind the bush, although thankfully for once the sun did stay out long enough! |
