L410 Honeybourne 22 June 1985

After taking the conventional picture of L410 arriving at Honeybourne on 22 June 1985 with the 2A62 09:01 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill service, I couldn't resist taking this picture of the train leaving the station, as it shows just how rural and basic Honeybourne station used to be. Houses now occupy the field on the left, and the car park has been extended over the land where the dog walkers are. As the Vauxhall Cavalier is mine, the only rail passenger's car is the Talbot Sunbeam. This late 1970s car was slightly unusual for a small hatchback, being rear wheel drive. Also slightly unusual is the unidentified Class 101 trailer taking the place of 59497 in the centre of the DMU. The other two vehicle are: 51387 & 51345.
