Here's some video I took at the recent Cotswold Festival of Steam at the GWR (see below).  I took more but haven't been able to edit or convert it so that it's less than 100Mb for YouTube.  If you search on YouTube for GWR or for steam, you'll find lots more video - or do a search for the engines I named in my post about the festival, eg Green Arrow and Wadebridge and Black Prince.

I had a difficult morning at school yesterday, so in the afternoon I went to the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway,  The line runs fromToddington through Didbrook and Hailes to Winchcombe, then through Gretton, Gotherinton and Bishops Cleeve to Cheltenham (Racecourse) a distance of 13 miles and includes a tunnel through the hills at Greet.  The GWR is run by volunteers (like me) and uses old engines and stock as well as old buildings etc.  I've shown you pictures of the main station at Toddington before but this time I decided to travel on the train to Cheltenham Racecourse and back.I sat in the restaurant car and had a coffee and toasted teacake and took some photos of the scenery as it went past.  A nice relaxing afternoon after a stressful week at work.  Here are some of the photos taken from the train.

The train was steam hauled - 92203 Black Prince was on the front.  At Toddington they were still digging up the engine sidings and there was a strange diesel on a Growler Group special.
