  • Back in the Eighties i made several visits to the Wiltshire hot spot of Westbury and on 10th September 1986 captured the following sequences with my faithful old Philips VHS Camera. 50013 arrives with an up train from Penzance bound for London Paddington with MK I buffet car in the rake as 56001 runs around LE a class 33 arrives with a Cardiff to Portsmouth Harbour service. Soon after the departure the service from Portsmouth arrives with the distinctive 33008 in charge. Coming off the Salisbury route 47369 arrives for a crew change and the train is then shunted back into the up yard while an HST set with power car 43145 leading calls on a London to West Country service. Another service for Portsmouth arrives and departs with 33025 "Sultan" providing the power. A little after the new class 59 number 59003 "Yeoman Highlander" comes off the "Berks and Hants" line with an empty stone train for Merehead Quarry. 56048 makes a rapid departure and we end our brief visit with 56031 drifting through the station. I hope this evokes fond memories for the maybe older generation and for the younger ones too.
