Winchcombe, in its Western Region colours (Daffodil Yellow is the correct term I believe) is a good example of the 1950s BR scheme and serves to educate our visitors. That said, GWR improvements to Toddington (such as the correct pattern signs) would enhance that station's buildings even more.Toddingtontedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470051178926426104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-73474121731921492542018-04-08T18:31:53.835+01:002018-04-08T18:31:53.835+01:00Nice to have a bit of variety at Winchcombe though...Nice to have a bit of variety at Winchcombe though no?

Going to a proper destination makes the journey seem complete and more real, although it does make one wish to continue the journey to Honeybourne, but that must wait of course!<br />We arrived and joined a queue at the ticket office, young and old present, there were more people walking along Station Road to and from the village than I can ever remember, the train we were on was well-filled, and we bought a coffee from the buffet car.<br />At Toddington it was good to see you track people and share a wave as you worked on the crossover. I bet it's nice feeling warmer out there for a change! I had a nice conversation with the guard as we went through the tunnel- the volunteers are all truly approachable and a credit to the line.<br />Nice also to hear a few voices of overseas visitors, we are obviously now a key part of the Cotswolds tourist industry. The other train hauled by 2807 crossed ours at Winchcombe with full coaches of passengers too- the Broadway effect incarnate!<br />On return I sat on the GWR waiting room bench pictured- fantastic work! I always remember Warwick station ticket office had one like that- possibly still does.<br />In the Crown and Trumpet pub in Broadway people on other tables were obviously also passengers from the trains, so I hope that the local businesses will be enjoying the extension of the line!<br />All in all I was very proud to be a Member and shareholder, and give my thanks to those who volunteer regularly in all weathers.
