LPPC DSL BW 0975 A North and West route semi-fast makes its station call at Gloucester Eastgate heading north behind an inevitable Peak Class 45; soon it will be climbing the Lickey Incline. Note the incongruous sight of a Gresley Full Brake BG at the rear of the train. Eastgate was later closed on 1st December 1975 and traffic concentrated on the rebuilt and lengthened Central station.
