Testing times for the railways! One of Network Rail's test trains, the 06.57 Cardiff to Derby RTC accelerates away from Cheltenham passing Brockhampton. 73951 'Malcolm Brinded' leads the train with 'Janis Kong' bringing up the rear. I had been monitoring the progress of this train on Open Train Times for some time and was impressed by the speed that it was making, even after a layover in Arle loop it was really moving when it passed me here.
