With the withdrawal of lineside passes by the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway from the beginning of 2019 photos like this one at Gotherington are no longer possible. With an attentive audience both on the platform and on the train the second man on Class 26 No. D5343 (26043) prepares to exchange tokens with the signalman on a working to Cheltenham Racecourse. Owned by the Cotswold Mainline Diesel Group the loco had at that time just entered service. This spring it is due to visit the Somerset & Dorset Railway at Midsomer Norton.
