From Radio Winchcombe 107.1
a live programme to celebrate the re-opening of the full 12 mile line on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. Nick Mundy in the studio and Phill Bird out and about on the GWR. Following the 'Chicken Curve' landslip-repair the full line opened today – once again connecting Cheltenham Race Course and Laverton (just south of Broadway), for the first time since the late 1970s. Phill’s live at Toddington, Winchcombe and Cheltenham and racing the train by car! See www.gwsr.com for the amended timetable for the remainder of 2012. If you wait for the ‘programme to load’ then it should be possible to navigate the playback. What a day - choo choo !
