Choosing to support Salisbury traders in the run up to Christmas yesterday  (22nd November 2018) I was lucky enough to arrive at the station just before the Rail Head Treatment Train left platform 5 for the journey back to St Blazey.  3J13 0845 Westbury-St Blazey first of all runs across to Salisbury through the scenic Wylye valley before returning to Westbury.  Locos were a very dirty 66104 in revised DB livery and a relatively clean 66200 in original EWS colours, this loco having replaced 66067 on 20th.  Bay platform 5 is only used by empty DMUs and other non-passenger workings as there is no main aspect signal provided at the far end, only a ground position or 'dummy' signal.
Besides the daily visit of this train the lines between Salisbury and Warminster are cleaned several times each day by one of the Eastleigh-based MPV sets which reverses on the crossover to the south of Warminster station.

Many thanks for your detailed report Guy

The changing scene at
Bristol Temple Meads
Martin Scane
Hi again Changing times from a few years back. A general view of the new buildings overlooking the Eastern end of Bristol Temple Meads. Regards Martin Scane    A very dramatic change to the outlook to the North East from Temple Meads.  One wonders what the view is like from the high rise development towards the station. Many thanks Martin.
