221124, XC 06.27 Plymouth-Edinburgh Waverley (1S39, RT), Alstone Lane crossing
Passing a classic Midland signal box of 1891 vintage just
north of Cheltenham station at Alstone Lane level crossing 221124 gets into its stride working the 06.27 Plymouth to Edinburgh Waverley service. While the weather is super dull this morning it's actually a blessing in disguise as this photograph would have been all but impossible if the sun had been out as it was looking southeast!
