The Didcot Railway Centre has not only reopened its doors to visitors, but has also managed to return passenger services to their main demonstration line.
Many of the locomotives within Didcot's extensive collection were positioned in order to improve photographic opportunities, such as 6998 "Burton Agnes Hall" being positioned on the turntable, while 2999 "Lady of Legend" was poised in front of the main engine shed. Meanwhile, 6023 "King Edward II" was rostered for services on the demonstration line.
