@Mac's Tracks is this one of Nick's or Paul's videos? You have a banner on Sydney Gardens tunnel from Paul's DVD sales routes also the video locks a couple of times from Bathampton Junction to Sydney Gardens.

Most interesting. Thanks. Strange that there was no stop at Westbury?

Back in the days of Loco Hauled with class 33s and 5 Mk1 coaches, one of the hourly services did stop the next did not for a while on the Portsmouth -Cardiff trains one was to/from Cardiff the other hour to/from Bristol which I think was the Westbury Stopper?

@@Thunderer0872 But isn't Westbury also important as a place to change trains?

[@limeyfox]

@@phwboothonly when there is a connection. Until recently trains to London or the Weymouth line were only every 2-3 hours, the regional railways fast services only called on alternate hours.

This was a South West Trains London Waterloo-Bristol Temple Meads service. Filmed in either 2003 or 2004. All or most of these services did not call at Westbury.

Out of interest, where did you find these ?

[@Thunderer0872]

A BR employee called Nick recorded these along with him doing lineside footage, but his cab rides are all showcased here with a couple of others on another channel.

[@Thunderer0872]

I think?
