Oh, the perils of high summer photography! As the northern extension of the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway runs north to south getting a northbound train that is not backlit for a large part of a summer's day is all but impossible. In addition, the warmth of summer also means no exhaust from a steam train but for a whisper emerging from the chimney of 6023 'King Edward II'. A bit of playing within Photoshop has enabled this picture to be presented of the 13.55 Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway. I am standing a narrow footpath bridge that sits atop a brand new aqueduct that carries a tiny watercourse over the railway.
