221138 & 220028, XC 11.39 Newcastle-Penzance (1V58, 1L), Cheltenham station Back in the 1980s when I was photographing trains at Cheltenham during my four-year stay in the town this position was not possible but the platform extension has allowed one to wander much further. However, another of my favoured positions then was the waste ground to the right now occupied by the building (now a gym). This land was the point where the former GWR ran side by side to the Midland route for a short distance before heading off to Malvern Road, a short spur to St. James' station and then the route to Birmingham now partially occupied by the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway. 221138 and 221028 leave working the 1V58 11.39 Newcastle to Penance service.
