6024 Bourton 8 September 2006

Looking faintly ridiculous as it heads east along the Great Western Mainline with a single support coach, GWR 4-6-0 6024 King Edward I passes Bourton with the 5Z20 09:28 Bristol Barton Hill  to Old Oak Common positioning move on 8 September 2006, in connection with the following day's John Betjeman Centenary special. Note the increasing sprawl of Swindon's industrial estates visible on the horizon, and also the bi-directional signaling in the background, with 'feathers' for Bourton's pair of crossovers.
