This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!

I'd been out delivering since early on and hadn't seen any gen reports so this was a completely unexpected beautiful end to my lunchbreak
Some people have all the luck, eh?
That said, I popped into Lawrence Hill as I was cycling past after work last Friday and saw not just 57303 "Alan Tracey" running light, but also a Fred on the binliners! I just didn't have a camera with me....
Walking into work this morning about half 7 I could hear but unfortunatly not see something diesel chundering up through Filton Junction definatly not GM variety, wouldn't say 47 more like 31 but I stand to be corrected....
However walking back from work and Blue Pullman 47709 "DIONISOS" thundered through Filton Abbey Wood with a single green Mk 2 Coach. By the time I was wandering over the bridge it was heading round the curve to Parkway. Did cross my mind if this is what I heard this morning?
