Emergency Workings

What happens when problems arise which affect train services is illustrated in the New Year 1955 issue of 'The Gloucestershire Railway Society News'.

The wet weather mentioned was in December 1954.

The Divisional Operating Superintendent at Gloucester who wrote the article 'Keeping The Wheels Turning' was R H B Nicholls.

GRS Honorary Secretary Phil Edwards contributed this article relating a trip from Gloucester to London while trains were diverted due to the problem at Sapperton.
