    I travelled down to the GCR yesterday Thursday 23rd January, the 3 visiting GWR locos were working all the day's services
    6880 Betton Grange, 3850 & 6695.
    Weather pretty dull and rainy in the morning, but sun managed a quick appearance in the afternoon as can be seen on this photo of
    6880 Betton Grange seen here alongside withdrawn 92214 which had been moved closer to the station during the day
