Swindon - Heart of the FGW

« on: February 13, 2014, 17:43:11 »

It had to happen - the hired in SWT^▸ set meets one of the 153s still in London Midland livery.

The 153 waiting to form a service to Westbury with the 159 SWT off to Cheltenham - both FGW^▸ services.

They are probably talking about their ancestors' lives on the Midland & South Western Junction Railway (not a great distance away).

They would mot have been coupled. The 158 would be going to Cheltenham from Platform 2 and the 153 (Westbury) arrives and goes back to Westbury on top of the 158.
