LPPC DSL BW 0621 At Westbury station on the WR’s Berks and Hants line, Hymek Type 3 Class 35 D7009 thrums away to itself having just arrived with the 15.42pm ex Bristol on a Saturday afternoon in 1972. Stabled in the right background, awaiting the resumption of freight services on Monday morning are several Brush Type 4 Class 47s with extensive yards on both sides of the running lines. The line to Salisbury curves away to the left in the far background, whilst ahead takes trains to the main Berks and Hants cut-off line heading west. Despite the title of the line, it never actually goes into Hampshire at all, being an early 20th century GWR marketing man’s idea of a ‘romantic’ name. Keywords: BR, Hymek, D7009, Westbury, Passenger, Class 47, Class 35
