COTSWOLD FESTIVAL OF STEAM DAY 1 | DELAYS but PLENTY TO SEE! | Well tank duo, SECR O1 + LOADS MORE!

All the action from the first day of the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railways Cotswold Festival Of Steam gala, held over the penultimate Bank Holiday weekend of May, and this year featuring a wide variation of locomotives, big and small representing various railway companies. In action were:
- 1906 Borrows 0-4-0WT works no. 48 ‘The King’
- 1918 Borrows / Kerr-Stuart 0-4-0WT Willy the Well Tank’
- Newly overhauled Andrew Barclay Austerity 0-6-0ST no 15 'Earl David'
- GWR Pannier 7714 (deputising for 34072 '257 Squadron')
- BR standard 4 75069
- SECR O1 No.65
- GWR 3850
- GWR 2807
- GWR 6880 'Betton Grange'
- GWR 7903 'Foremark Hall'
- SR 35006 Peninsular & Oriental S. N. Co. (making it's final runs before overhaul)

The day started with some delays, owing to points issues at Gotherington, and this had a knock on effect to the working timetable throughout the remainder of the day, with a couple of the later services on Saturday terminating short of their original intended destination, but overall the railway did well to claw it back and keep things as on track as best they could, and there was plenty to see along the line during the day so enjoy all the action, including a Brake Van ride, a guest tank locomotive cavalcade, double headers, the narrow gauge railway, steam traction engines, models and lots more throughout the day!
