The car park seen here at the western end of

Bath Spa station on the up platform used to be a small goods shed and yard. Access was from the east and necessitated a rather complicated reversal and crossover. This was all removed in 1960 and was the first of a number of major and considerable changes to the layout of Bath station. On this gloomy evening there are a number of 1970s cars in the car park. There's a pair of VW caravanettes with the foreground dominated by a Fiat 128 and an Austin Maxi with another Maxi behind the Fiat. Behind and to the right of the Beetle is a relatively new and modern design in the shape of a Renault 20 or possibly a 30 as I can't see the headlights. To its left is the rear end of a Triumph 2000 or 2500 next to a Morris Marina. Behind the Maxi on the right is a Hillman Avenger estate. Enough of the cars, notice the parcels trolleys on the platform complete with their netting to contain the packets and sacks. These were once so common wherever we spotters went and became our temporary homes when collecting numbers!
