In the early morning autumnal gloom at Gloucester station, 37204 and 37282 have arrived with the The pennine Explorer railtour. The headboard has already been removed in preparation for the 37s being detached and running round to continue the journey north. We had only joined the railtour relatively recently picking it up at Bristol Parkway after travelling from Bradford-on-Avon via Bristol Temple Meads. This journey included an early morning charge up Filton Bank behind 50008 'Thunderer'!
