Took a trip to the Swindon & Cricklade Railway today for their first steam operating day of the year.
GWR▸ 0-6-2T 5619, built in Swindon in 1925, was in charge. It is also planned to operate next Sunday before moving on to the Epping & Ongar Railway.
With the railway running compartment stock they are able to segregate individual parties quite easily and boarding and alighting was well organised. (and good value for ?7)
The trip also gave me the chance to see how much the Tadpole Farm development is changing the landscape near the railway.
