FIRST THROUGH TRAIN LAVERTON TO CHELTENHAM
SINCE THE LANDSLIPS
30TH OCTOBER 2012
Our faithful crew have prepared 7903 to an immaculate state and are readying to take the first train the complete length of the line since the disastrous landslips. Covering the entire line over the extension to Laverton right through to Cheltenham. Congratulations must go to The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway for their fortitude in tackling such as serious situation which could have closed a less dedicated group and to all the good folk who contributed to the fund to rebuild the line.
