Castle at Bristol Temple Meads

            On Wednesday 26 August 1964, Castle 7005 Sir Edward Elgar departs from Platform 7 at Bristol Temple Meads with 2B25 18.50 Weston-Swindon holiday train.  This train ran during the main holiday period in the Summer and this was the last year it was steam-hauled. On the final two days, 27/28 August 7022 Hereford Castle performed the roster.  In the background can be seen a Western which had arrived with 1M99 16.00 Plymouth to Liverpool train.  The Western would later take out 1A99 19.15 Weston to Paddington.  The Warship at Platform 9 had arrived with 1M05 11.35 Penzance to Crewe Parcels (note incorrect reporting number 1N05 on the Warship) and a Brush Type 4 would take that train onward at 20.10.  7005 would only survive for another 12 days being withdrawn on Monday 7 September 1964.  The loco spent virtually its whole life at Worcester (85A), being transferred in August 1964 to Southall (81C).  This move was never effected and the loco has an 82C Swindon plate, which explains its roster on this train.  7005 was scrapped at Cohens Morriston scrapyard.
