Title: When Bath Spa was mixed gauge...

Just noticed that this town plan records Bath Spa's mixed gauge layout. No bays, a pair of lines for the platforms and two more between them - and outside, just a short walk to the tram.

The Weymouth version of 1863 shows the mixed gauge in the station and the gauntletted track over the turntable
