THE Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR) has ended its pre-
Christmas operating season in spectacular style, with a two-day mixed traction gala that attracted almost 2,000 passengers.
The event, over the weekend of November 6/7, was staged as a finale to the railway’s 40th anniversary with eight locomotives operating – four steam, four diesel plus a diesel multiple-unit – working an intensive timetable that included a freight train.
In addition, there were double-headed and non-stop services each day.
