An unusual working.
On the 11th of August 1932 an unusual through locomotive working occurred.
A half day excursion from Avonmouth and local GWR stations in the Bristol area was worked through to Bournemouth by a GWR 4-4-0 locomotive No 3367 Evan Llewllyn.
The train first followed the West ofEngland main line to Highbridge, setting back there on to the Somerset and Dorset Burnham branch. Resumingforward running, the train recrossed the GW line and ran into Highbridge (S&D) station, there picking up quite a few local passengers. An LMS pilotman accompianied the GWR enginemen from Highbridge to Bournemouth and back.
I bet he was happy LOL.
