Running thirty minutes late, 155301 passes Hay Lane (near Swindon) with the 07:12 Warminster to Swindon service on 14 June 1991. Obviously what ever the delay was resulted in nobody bothering to check the destination blind, which still reads Warminster! This train had traversed the little used Trowbrige to Chippenham line and had called at Melksham station, being the only up train to do so. There was a similar working in the evening in the opposite direction. This is probably one of the last photos taken of 155301, as it was withdrawn shortly afterwards for conversion to two Class 153 single car units, emerging as 153301 & 153351 in September 1991. |
