Three Castles on Bristol St Philips Marsh

This photo was taken on Sunday May 10, 1964, the day after the famous Castle high speed swansong between Paddington and Plymouth. The engine used on the Plymouth-Bristol leg was now preserved 7029 Clun Castle, seen in the centre of the picture. The other two Castles are 5014 Goodrich Castle and 7003 Elmley Castle. 7003 (together with 4093 Dunster Castle) were the last two Castles allocated to Bristol. When St Philips Marsh closed just over a month later, they were both re-allocated to Gloucester Horton Road. Castles still continued to visit the remaining Bristol Shed, Barrrow Road (82E) as this previous shot shows.

After the withdrawal of the Tysley and Oxley Castles in early 1965, Bristol still had occasional visits from the last four members of the class, which were allocated to Gloucester.
