45118 Berkeley Heath - a photo on Flickriver

45118 Berkeley Heath

            45118 "The Royal Artilleryman" on its railtour debut passes through the Gloucestershire countryside on an early Saturday morning with the 1Z45 07.03 Bristol Temple Meads-York 'Diamond Jubilee Express' excursion organised by Inter-City railtours. 47810 "Crewe Diesel Depot" was bringing up the rear of this electic coaching rake and was added at the last minute for insurance due to the peak failing on the ECS the day prior; thankfully the issue was rectified in time.

The tour was beneficially 8 minutes late at this point due to congestion at Temple Meads. To say this was a blessing in disguise is a huge understatement. Had it been on-time for likelihood of getting a dull shot would've been high. A hole opened up through the extensive cloud cover that had built-in over the half an hour prior and the sun poked for a lengthy 10 minute spell, thankfully in the right place at the right time. A 5am start from Somerset rewarded!
