27 June 1986 was one of those mid summer days when the sun just get hazier and gently fades out. There is just a little light left as 47600 Dewi Saint / Saint David passes Compton Beauchamp with the 1C71 18:47 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service, one of a couple of Friday only loco hauled trains on the GWML in the evening in the mid 1980s. |
