Description
๐Ÿ“ Filmed at Toddington, the Heart of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway

Day 1 of the Cotswold Festival of Steam 2025 kicks off with unexpected delays, but the action soon ramps up in spectacular fashion! While the cause of the initial hold-up remains unclear, steam fans were treated to some incredible sights once the trains got moving.

๐Ÿš‚ The highlight of this video is the unforgettable double-headed departure of both visiting well tanks, with No. 15 providing additional power on the rearโ€”a rare formation that thrilled the crowds.

Before the well tanks take centre stage, we catch a dramatic departure of 7903 Foremarke Hall hauling a freight train, where lucky passengers enjoyed the unique experience of riding in the brake vans for just ยฃ20.

Weโ€™re also treated to the arrival of home fleet favourite 2807, making a classic entrance just before the well tanks set off toward Winchcombe.

๐ŸŽฅ This is just the beginningโ€”more videos from the festival are on the way!
