47337 brings the extremely long 15.14 Bristol Temple Meads to Portsmouth Harbour service through Bradford-on-Avon station. Today, this equivalent service is handled by a three-car DMU, progress, I'm not so sure? Notice the very quiet station car park in the background, this used to be the site of the goods sidings and a glorious broad-gauge stone built goods shed, a travesty that it was demolished in the early 1970s. Amongst the cars in the car park, one worth pointing out is the red NSU Prinz parked at the far end next to the VW Camper. It was probably owned by a fisherman as this was where they parked their cars giving easy access to the River Avon down a little path at the end.
