A historic moment at Combe station on 8 July 2010, as 43091 calls with the 1W00 08:22 Paddington to Hereford First Great Western service. Normally only one Turbo unit in each direction stops at this remote station for the handful of loyal regular passengers. However, to mark the 75th anniversary of the opening of the station by the Great Western Railway, a special stop order was granted for this HST service to call and pick up a party of local schoolchildren heading for a day trip to Worcester. Proceedings are watched over by FGW's station manager and interested locals. |
