170103 hugs the Severn Estuary near Purton in Gloucestershire working the 07.45 Cardiff Central to Nottingham. Whenever people think of the UK's coastal railways, the first to come to mind tends to be the South Devon line. However, this section of line in Gloucestershire, whilst not as long, is as dramatic in many respects. Notice the two enthusiasts who have gathered on the breakwater ready for the passing of the Deltic leading the The Welsh Central Liner railtour.
