View southward on the Gloucester - Bristol/Swindon main lines: four-track Tuffley Junction - Standish Junction. As Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 (with Stephenson link motion and roller-bearings) No. 44775 (built 4/47, withdrawn 10/67) heads the 09.50 Weston-super-Mare - Birmingham New Street express, a southbound express passes on the left - probably a WR train. On such days the traffic was constant along here.
