47848 Gloucester 27 April 1993

47848 approaches Gloucester on 27 April 1993 with the 1V54 11:05 York to Swansea service. Despite the train already heading in the right direction for the direct route to South Wales, it would in fact reverse in Gloucester station, as it was booked via Bristol Parkway and the Severn Tunnel, using the line that can just be seen in the foreground. Note the Gloucester No.2 ground frame in the foreground, the banner repeater signal on the left, and the Kemira fertiliser depot in the background.
