We took a trip on the wonderful Gloucester and Warwickshire Steam Railway from Broadway Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, onboard with the SR Merchant Navy Class 35006 locomotive.

Journey looks lovely and relaxing, Poppy,she likes her journey as well,❤
Didn't get to do the train on our visit , an excuse to go back but did get some good photos and video of locos
Lovely journey,
What a lovely way to spend a day. Glad Poppy didn't get too hot.
This is my most favourite line in the country, I’ve traveled it so many times and I go 2/3 times a year, will be there in 2 weeks stopping at Cheltenham, Toddington to Broadway isn’t my favourite stretch I often stick to Cheltenham to Toddington as my limit. I tend to avoid steam trains though 😂
Lovely trip Bob,love a bit of steam.never done that line,seen the trains going past while on Broadway site,also when we have stayed on the Cheltenham racecourse site,you can see them in the distance, Great.
I just love steam trains, amazing engineering. Reminds of of my childhood, happy days!
love the old steam locos Bob great vlog a great way travel 😄
Thanks for the video Bob. Spending a week at Broadway next month as part of a tour celebrating our 35th anniversary, your arrival video and this one have been very helpful in planning, wife has limited mobility but I now know she will manage walk to station, and where I would like to get a pitch on site. Enjoy the rest of your trip

Good to meet you both and poppy briefly at Cheltenham Station. It was hot that day. Hope you enjoy your stay on the Island.
Very enjoyable watch, love the sounds from the steam train 🚂 Enjoy your holiday! Em 💜
Lovely video, i love steam trains. I wonder what is the longest tunnel? the one on the pennine express seems long.
Ya cannot beat a good Toilet block
Nicw.
Enjoyed that, thank you🙏
Bob. Please don’t stop reviewing campsites. You are our go to man. If we are looking for a site we always ask “has Bob been “. Keep up the good work.
After the dump valve change, next challenge fixing a steam train? ?? Nice vid Bob
Thankyou so much we really enjoyed this steam trip back in time
Lovely video Bob and Jenny and it’s one of my favourite heritage railway lines the scenery is lovely we’ve gone from toddington before and they have only extended to broadway fairly recently
At one time they wanted to put the middle of the line back through Evesham and up to Redditch but it’s not possible in places now I gather
(The top part of the line is still in use)
Looks like you all had a lovely trip and glorious weather I bet the driver and fireman were hot!
Enjoyed watching this with my morning cup of coffee and thank you for putting the artist's name and track up on screen. Really appreciate what you both do. 😊👍
I bob, Jenny & poppy, what a glorious day you had. And the views from the steam train were amazing. Have a lovely time. Lots of love. Linda xx ❤
Thanks Bob I enjoyed both videos, the campsite & the rail journey that has gone onto my ever expanding list, but I just have to do that rail journey
We love the Poppy line from Sherrinham to Holt in Norfolk we're off there again in August keep up the good work you three
Hi Bob, I remember, there was nothing nicer than dropping the carriage window down with the leather strap, putting your head out the window and getting your eyes full of soot and grit from the steam train. Cheers Bill
My goodies have arrived today from the shop . I’m very pleased with them good quality thank you 😊
What a gorgeous day for a lovely steam train tour. That was magical. Thank you for sharing.
