Just twice a day GWR's Bristol-Weymouth line services are booked to pass each other at Maiden Newton station. Today, in glorious early autumn sunshine 166206 with the 2V68 1311 Weymouth-Gloucester and 166208 on the 2O76 1042 Gloucester-Weymouth stand while their drivers collect and surrender the single line tokens for the section towards Yeovil. 'Thames Turbos' now transferred to the Bristol area work the majority of services on this route with 158's occasionally appearing and class 150s of all types now relegated to history. Guy Vincent

Many thanks to you Guy - nice to hear from you again.

It's always a joy to use pictures by the late John Cornelius. We remember the station, the Bridport branch and you too of course.
