Description
While they didn’t attend The Greatest Gathering event itself, DRS Class 68s 68001 & 68016 were busy working shuttle railtour services in support of the event at Derby Main Station. Just one day after the final shuttles ran, the same pair are seen at Cheltenham Spa, straight back on the day job hauling a nuclear flask train heading for Crewe.

Also seen is 57604, making a rare move dragging Class 43 power cars 43004 & 43198 south, returning them to their home depot at Laira in Plymouth.

Plenty of variety and post-event movement action in this one – all captured at Cheltenham Spa!
