47250 pulls out onto the main line at Swindon on 25 October 1982 with the 6C36 12:10 Swindon Transfer to Severn Tunnel Junction Speedlink. This being a Monday, it was booked for a slightly later departure time, other days of the week it left at 11:20. A pair of shunters can be seen in the background, 08925 on the left, and 08696 on the right. Behind them is the town's gas holder, and the British Leyland car body plant. The tall chimney in the background belonged to the Wills cigarette factory. This was demolished in 1987, and the site is now a Tesco supermarket.
