| Gloucester Horton Road depot has risen from the dead courtesy of Cotswold Rail - it's great to see mainline diesel locos on shed again. The first arrivals have been during April and May 2006 and some are pictured here.
It's some way from the depot's heyday as a GWR shed, but I never thought the depot would return to use since its closure to locos in the early 1990s. Updated 21 JAN 2007 - 47365 and 31206 departed for scrap and preservation respectively later in 2006. In January 2007, 08936 has now been on site for some time, keeping 47033 company. 45112 has been stabled in the head shunt opposite the depot for a few days now. For a look at the depot in the 80s see my older gallery - Gloucester May/June 1985. |
