Class 50, unidentified up working, Bathampton Junction
Class 50, unidentified up working, Bathampton Junction 
 My friend, Simon Petrameredies, gives a thumbs up to the driver of the unidentified Class 50 heading an up express for London Paddington. He's doing this in order to extract a blast on the horn because in the plastic bag was my cassette recorder attempting to capture the sound on some grotty C.60 cassette! I suspect that the driver would have given a blast on the horn without the gesture given our position on the lineside. We are actually standing on the rubble that was formally the up platform at Bathampton that was closed on 03.10.66, only eleven years prior to when this picture was taken!
