47508 Honeybourne 14 August 1983

47508 Great Britain arrives at Honeybourne on 14 August 1983 with the 16:10 Paddington to Hereford service. After a brief stop the train set off for Evesham as normal, only to stop a short distance up the line and then reverse back into the station! Apparently somebody had been left behind, but even so, a bizarre move that I have not seen happen since! Note the empty shell of the long closed signal box in the background. This was demolished shortly afterwards.
