A somewhat more head-on view of a Winchcombe-bound train, taken on the first operating day of the 2015 season. I had originally planned to photograph this service at Manor Lane, Gotherington, but when I realised it was the same locomotive rostered as the one I'd photographed there in 2014 (see later in the collection), I decided to photograph it at Hayles Abbey instead. However, the lighting at the time was almost head-on to the train, and as a result, the photograph is more head-on than in the previous photograph at this location.
