Night Castle at Bristol Temple Meads

            On Monday November 18, 1963, 5085 Evesham Abbey waits to depart form Platform 7 with 2B90 19.00 Temple Meads to Weymouth.  The station clock shows that there are 10 minutes left for departure.

5085 was a Bristol engine for much of its later life and was withdrawn of 82B St Philips Marsh early in 1964 and cut up at Hayes of Bridgend.

By the end of 1964 only two regular former western passenger turns remained steam hauled.  These were the 2C52 18.52 Temple Meads to Weymouth and return 2B70 17.20 Weymouth to Temple Meads arriving at 20.37.  In the last week of steam haulage the 2C52 had 6935 Browsholme Hall on Monday December 28 and 73003 on Wednesday December 30, 1964.  Both turns became a Hymek duty from Monday January 4, 1965 and ceased to be of interest.
