47600 passes through Kemble station on Sunday 4 March 1984 with the 3A16 14:00 Gloucester to Old Oak Common empty newspaper vans. What makes this worth recording on such a miserable day is the fact that in addition to the normal rake of vans, the train also includes a set of Mk1 coaches, resulting in the whole train loading to 14 vehicles. Although they are empty, this surely must have made 47600 struggle a bit coming up Sapperton Bank, especially as it was raining. |
