BR in the 2010s Westbury Station (Wiltshire) on 15th March 2013
Westbury Station (Wiltshire)
15th March 2013
On yet another wet and windy day, I visited Westbury Station and situated myself on the platforms, avoiding the elements to the best that I could. On this particular visit, DMU Classes 150, and 158s are seen on their regular passenger duties to/from Bristol and the West and SWT Class 159's on the Portsmouth/Bristol/Cardiff runs. A couple of Yeoman and also Hanson Liveried Class 59's worked into and out of the yards at Westbury and to/from the Quarries. (Merehead and Whatley) In their 'Swan Song' period the FGW HST's were still on the West of England/London Paddington route and are seen in this video, one having been named 'The Mayflower' service from Paddington to Plymouth. In addition to these, several class 66 s are captured on film, both of EWS Livery and Freightliner livery. A Ballast Cleaner is also seen shunting up to the camera, from the up yard. I hope this video takes you back to the period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read, and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually.. Many thanks to all subscribers and for the likes, also to all those viewers whom over the years, have kindly shown an interest and appreciation in my material.
