Toddington Steam Festival Part 1

On the weekend of 9th and 10th October, I attended the 25th Annual Steam Festival, held this year at Toddington in Gloucestershire. This is a lovely site, right next door to the Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway. The event always was held on this site, then moved to Cheltenham Racecourse, but this year it had to return to its old site because of the land slip at Gotherington, thereby preventing the railway to travel to Cheltenham.
This selection of photos were taken on Sunday 10th and just in time for the vintage tractor parade.




This is Mr. Ron Turner from the North Worcestershire Vintage Tractor and Engine Club on a Massey 35. Tom Cullimore making the presentations.
Matt Bisp is our youngest member of the club, and he also talks to Tom Cullimore. Matt is driving his Ford 1200
This section is a small selection of Vintage and Classic Commercials present at the show.


This London Transport Routemaster is somewhat different to those normally seen on the streets of London when in service. Notice the window change about halfway down. These examples were made longer to carry extra passengers, so they were cut in half and a piece inserted to create that change.
