As it is a Sunday the station car park at

Trowbridge station is almost empty. The car park occupies the site of the former and fairly expansive yard with the rather attractive goods shed located in the centre. The goods yard had sidings that served the Bowyers meat factory that can be seen in the background. This was, along with the Ushers brewery and Unigate Dairies one of the three largest employers in Wiltshire's county town at this time. Indeed, my girlfriend's dad worked at Bowyers and my dad for Unigate! In this scene, and unidentified Class 31 passes through the station with an unidentified service probably heading for Portsmouth Harbour. The lovely station buildings were demolished in 1984 and 'modern' monstrosity was built with the main station building moved to the down platform.
