47593 Combe (Grintleyhill Bridge) 1 August 2026

47593 Galloway Princess crosses the bridge over the River Evenlode, as it approaches Combe on 1 August 2026 with the InterCity 1Z47 08:20 Crewe to Bristol Temple Meads 'Avon Gorgeous' railtour. 47712 Lady Diana Spencer is bringing up the rear. After arriving at Bristol, the train would visit Portbury Dock, via the Avon Gorge, hence the tour's name. This was running eight minutes late, which because of the single track, held the 1W21 10:52 Paddington to Great Malvern GWR service at Wolvercote Junction.
