Kemble Station 24 February 2025

Kemble station under a cloud on 24 February 2025, untroubled by any trains! I had gone here to photograph 57310 on the 5Q89 12:34 Long Marston to Eastleigh East Yard, conveying South Western Railway EMU 701060, but that only got as far as Worcester, where 57310 was declared a failure. There wasn't even any passenger trains to photograph, as the 1L78 13:59 Cheltenham Spa to Paddington had been cancelled. In fact on this day no less than eight of GWR's trains had been cancelled, with such excuses as 'lineside vegetation' (totally believable!) to 'adverse weather conditions' (a complete lie). 5Q89 was rescheduled to run the following day as the 5Q91 13:38 Worcester North Sidings to Wimbledon Park Depot Sidings.
