Glad to see 3 car 158's are back.
Take it as Bristol-Portsmouth line, not my area.
'Tis good picture.

I use that route quite often and I have to say that its one of my favourite stretches of line.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I would have thought FGW▸ might like to use it in publicity, it's so good.

According to my camera the photo was taken at 1351 on 4 June. It appears to be heading Salisbury way, which probably makes it the 1336 from Warminster going to Brighton ! I hate to say this - but I prefer the SWT▸ one, their colour scheme is better ! |

Hmm. I'd tend to disagree, actually - I prefer FGW▸ 's rather more restrained blue livery!    |
