Last weekend (24-26th) saw Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway host the annual Cotswold Festival Of Steam Gala celebrating Rail 200. The guests this year had a lot of first time visits to the line and two of them I regularly see. Pannier Tank 7714 starts of the video at Chicken Curve which is then followed at Stanton Cutting. Next up is the two Well Tanks, seen at Didbrook pulling a train on the way to Winchcombe for shunting demonstrations. This is followed by Andrew Barclay Austerity Tank ‘Earl David’, just back from overhaul again seen at Didbrook. Then seen on a rare visit from the Bluebell is SECR No 65 at Kayte Lane and Dixton Cutting. Then finally Standard 4 75069 is seen at Defford Straight double heading with 7714 in an all Severn Valley double header. The gala was a fantastic 3 day event with the visiting locos supported by the home fleet (not seen in the video). All the trains looked busy and the gala was well supported. Big thank you to everyone involved for arranging another cracking gala on the GWSR.
