LPPC DSL BW 0705 Today it has been razed to the ground, but in the 1970s Bristol’s Bath Road diesel depot was almost as busy as its steam predecessor, as can be seen in this shot. From the left there is what looks like an ancient Collett coach used for staff or stores, 2 Sulzer Type 2 Class 25s, 2 Class 08 shunters, a Hymek Type 3 Class 35, a Peak Class 45, a Brush Type 4 Class 47 and another Peak Class 45 or 46 and part of a Brush Type 2 Class 31. There would be even more locos inside the depot. Keywords: BR, Bristol, Western, Peak, Class 45, Class 31, Hymek, Class 47, Class 08, Bristol Bath Road, Depot, Shed
