Normally trains have a run at the bank from Bristol Temple Meads. Britannia would have rejoined the main line at Dr. Days Jct. It would then have slewed across to the main at a steady pace until the last coach approached Lawrence Hill station. It would only then have opened up for the climb to Abbey Wood. <BJ>
Many thanks for that helpful explanation.
