With the normal timetable in operation trains cross at Winchcombe so there is only about a ten minute wait for the next northbound service at Hayles Abbey Halt. The departure from Winchcombe was easily observed but it was not until after the train had negotiated Chicken Curve that the locomotive could be identified. 35006 PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL S.N. CO. faced south so I photographed an impressive large tender.
