The serious landslip at Chicken Curve north of Winchcombe has caused the GWR to operate truncated services at each end of the line. The northern section is operated by Class 117 two-car Diesel Unit No's. 51363 & 51405 on 27th September 2012. Toddington Station is a joy to behold and reflects great credit on the GWR for the beautiful restoration to former glories. The full service between Laverton and Cheltenham Racecourse should be in operation for the beginning of next season after the recent completion of remedial works at Chicken Curve.
