On a very dull and wet Saturday morning 67006 'Royal Sovereign' leads the 5Z25 05.17 Stewart's Lane to Cheltenham empty coaching stock. This ECS move was associated with a later charter picking up passengers from Cheltenham and Bristol Parkway heading to Southampton looking forward to a luxury cruise. The train was to travel via the GWML to Bathampton Junction and then through the Avon Valley to Westbury and then south through Salisbury. After its passengers disembarked at Southampton Central the empty stock then returned directly to Stewart's Lane for stabling.
