The late afternoon shadows are lengthening at Standish Junction on 6 October 2012, as 7MT 4-6-2 70013 Oliver Cromwell takes the 'Golden Valley' route with the Railway Touring Company 1Z73 16:10 Worcester Shrub Hill to Paddington 'Cotswold Venturer' railtour. It will shortly be doing battle with the notorious Sapperton Bank.
