Route Learning Car at Marsh Junction - 25 July 1981

As restrictions continue and we crawl on hands and knees towards various milestones, I have turned again to my archive. On previous occasions, I decided not to scan certain pictures because of quality, composition or lack of accompanying information. Over recent years, I have improved my editing techniques (you might not agree) and I can better recover some of my older images even if the composition is not always what I would accept today.

This really is a classic memory from nearly 40 years ago (as I post). Class 121 Pressed Steel MBS was introduced as a single car (W55035) in 1960 and was seen its role as ADB975659*, a route learning car at Marsh Junction, Bristol.

*The 1981 Ian Allan Combined Volume notes this as TDB975659 but this is not consistent with my notes from the time. It is also recorded by other Flickr users as ADB975659.

Geotagging approximate.
