The sharp curve of Bath Spa station is shown to

full effect in this zoom photograph of 150246 as it arrives with the 2E25 Warminster to Great Malvern service. Back in my youthful spotting days on Bath station in the late 1970s many trains composed of Mk.1 stock (and their variants) such as the Class 205s had doors positioned the length of the train meaning that passengers had to take great care when alighting from doors away from the carriage ends.
