Memories! When I was a boy at school in Bath in the mid-50s I would spend hours on the up platform of Bath Spa trainspotting - and the Merchant Venturer

was favourite after the Bristolian when it came to "named" trains. But those trees

behind didn't exist then. That was where the stopping trains had a line behind the

up platform and I used to catch the "local" to Box when a full station existed on

the Bath side....a real Great Western station, long gone now..

Thanks for this video.
