37609 Combe (Grintleyhill Bridge) 20 April 2016

Viewed from the lofty Grintleyhill Bridge, near Combe, 37609 leads the 1Z22 08:14 Tyseley to Bristol High Level Siding Network Rail test train on 20 April 2016, with 37612 on the rear. There has been some recent tree felling near this bridge, which would allow a slightly wider shot (although nothing like what was available in the 1980s). Unfortunately though the trees growing next to the line would then get in the way! I was surprised to be the only photographer at this location, which is undoubtedly one of the most scenic locations on the southern end of the Cotswold Line.
