GWR runs over 12 miles from the Cheltenham Race Course to Laverton (and back). We puffed north on the steam engine and returned on the diesel railcar, after lunch at Toddington in the Flag and Whistle Tearoom.
Some lovely scenery on the way, the Greet Tunnel- 693 yards and the Stanway Viaduct – 210′ long, 42′ high and a 15 span arch (not seen from the train).
Gotherington Station, our first stop, had beautiful flowerpots on the platfrom and the other stations had pretty tables, old luggage and scale displays and various carriages and engines on display and/or waiting for some love.
