Cotswold Line Promotion Group charter to Tenby

[jimm]

Anyone still thinking of going on this train on Saturday September 26 might want to get a booking in sharpish, as there are now fewer than 50 standard class seats still to be sold.

Train will be worked by a specially-formed eight-coach FGW HST with 2.5 first class coaches. As well as serving stations on the Cotswold Line, it will be calling at Ashchurch for Tewkesbury.

Timings are here:

I am booked. I really enjoyed last years trip to Plymouth. Tenby should be lovely. Hopefully nice enough weather to sit on the beach. A great way to spend a day with a group of rail enthusiast and a HST

Anyone still looking for another photo of a blue FGW HST with two-and-a-half first class coaches, today's the day.

Running a little late along the Cotswold Line from Oxford at the moment but there's pienty of time for the change of direction at Worcester, so should be back on time from there.

Was it a good trip, any photos.?

It was a super trip. A bit late in both directions but nobody seemed to mind. I am not sure why we had to spend so long in Swansea on the way down. I presume it was a fault on the train.

The lovely weather helped. Great views of the coast and the Severn on the way down. Tenby was of course delightful in the sunshine. Fish, chips, ice cream and the beach for me. The train crew worked really hard some of them did the whole return trip from Oxford with a run back to Swansea while we relaxed in Tenby.

I am already looking forward to next year.

Best wishes, Stephen.
