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!
A little bird tells me there will be a consist of 4* Class 20 + 1 * Class 73 stabled in Up Middle Siding at Temple Meads from 22:00 tonight and tomorrow morning.
Got a few piccs. They were in BTM untill mid afternoon when they departed but only as far as Bedminster platforms where they were parked in single line platform split into two pairs of 20s. I was passing on the 3.50 exeter train and only caught passing glimpse as I went past.
Some one on platform seemed to think the 73 was destined for Wales for shunting duties ( it was loitering around because apparently Severn Tunnel closed), he did say what the twenties were up to but I cant remember now. The consist was 20-20-73-tanker-tanker-20-20, 73 and one of twentys were named.

Great thanks guys! I couldn't make it down there myself, but particularly wanted to share any pics of this consist in the Bristol area with my informant, if you would be happy to do so, of course
More than happy to share piccs. I have been lazy and not got an online photoshare account but am happy to email to you or send to hattie to post on site.
