Class 47, up parcels, Bath Spa station 
 My first railway photograph with my new Pentax ME Super and it's out of focus! Normally, this would be confined to the 'almost ran' box but as its a milestone photograph for me it has made the cut! At 14.26 an unidentified Class 47 comes to a halt at Bath Spa station with a crew member ready to leap from the cab. The Post Office (now Royal Mail) staff are also ready towards the rear of the train with their trolley to load and unload mailbags. This sort of train and its associated activity is now lost from the railways but there is continued talk of its return in an effort to get trucks off the road; how very sensible that would be!
