170622, XC 07.45 Cardiff Central-Nottingham (1M92, RT), Arle bridge 
 170622 accelerates away from Cheltenham and is about to pass under Arle bridge working the 07.45 Cardiff Central to Nottingham service. It felt strange being back at this location that I visited many times back in the mid-1980s during my student days in Cheltenham. Off course, back then the main focus of my interest was the many locomotive-hauled services, particularly those hauled by Class 50s. The HSTs and first-generation DMUs took a bit more of a back seat but I did manage to photograph some of these too!
