LPPC DSL BW 0877 Heading north from Gloucester towards the Lickey Incline the line passes through Cheltenham and soon reaches Ashchurch, which once boasted a triangular junction and platforms as well as a rail flat crossing. On an autumnal Saturday afternoon, a Peak Class 46 thunders at over 90mph through the then-closed station with a southbound North and West Route express. The station closed in November 1971, but has since reopened to serve nearby Tewkesbury. Keywords: BR, Ashchurch, Western, Class 46, Peak, Passenger, Disused
