Viewed from a moving train, take a look along the full 1,977 feet 4 inches (602.69 m) of Gloucester platform, the second longest railway platform in the UK, just behind Colchester (2034 ft, 620 m). This platform was lengthened as part of the 1977 rebuilding work by British Rail and was intended to handle two Inter-City 125 trains at the same time. These trains were just coming into service on the Western Region London Paddington to Cheltenham Spa services at this time and all services were handled by the same platform.
