After a short layover in Alstone sidings just north of Cheltenham station IET 800021 passes Cloddy bridge heading back to London working the 16.59 Cheltenham to Paddington 1L84 service. Back in the 1980s, I stood on this bridge photographing the very same services but then they had a Class 50 or a 47 hauling a set of air conditioned Mk. II stock; how things have changed!
