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!
