Taunton arr 1743 dep again 1826 arr Bristol TM 1955

I would especially appreciate any pictures of 62482 as it is one of only 2 former 4-REP MK1 EMU driving motor coaches left in existence.

Ultrasonic Test Unit 2. Two ex-Gatwick Express MK2s sandwiching the former REP motor coach, with another MK1 van, usually top and tailed by Class 31s.
