Across the Avon
A scene overlooking the River Avon at Eckington, Worcestershire, on a foggy morning in October 2015. The train is 'The Cotswold Explorer', on the southbound leg of a return excursion from Tyseley to Oxford. The motive power was meant to be GWR Castle Class 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe', but a failure led to its replacement with Class 47 diesel no. 47773.
