31401, 13.00 Bristol Temple Meads-Portsmouth Harbour, Westbury South yard 31401 accelerates hard away from Westbury with the 13.00 Bristol Temple Meads to Portsmouth Harbour as it prepares to climb the four-mile long 1:70 Upton Scudamore bank. Duncan and I are standing in Westbury South Yard with the signal box in view; quite how we managed this I do not know! Perhaps the signalman had lost interest in chasing off some young spotters as the box had only a week left in use before abolition. This would render it redundant with it being pulled down soon afterwards and the sweeping away of all the superb semaphores at this location.
