56003 and 37324 lead the 17:20 Cheltenham - Toddington on Friday 15th July 2005. This is the view from the Bishop's Cleeve foot crossing looking south, and the picture was taken at 17:26. The 56 has to lead because it has train air-brakes only, and the carriages are vacuum-braked. The Class 37 was included as a brake translator, although on this trip it was powering a little on the climb towards Gotherington.
