With a 61 lever GW 3-BAR tappet frame.It is not due to close for a few years yet. Works AB to Severn Bridge Junction and Dorrington plus the single line branch to Welshpool.

It's that time of the year that I can delve into my archives and top up some of my historic Flickr albums.
I made several visits to Taylors Coaches of Sutton Scotney before they ceased trading at the end of 2004.
After around an hour of waiting in a freezing cold, gusty wind the sun found a gap in the heavy clouds away to my right and lit up the scene in front of me. The light lasted less than 5 minutes, but it was definately worth the wait!
Sutton Station on the 14th of June 1983 and 4SUB unit 4721 is on the 94 service. It will either be heading for Epsom Downs or will have terminated. From this view point nothing has structurally changed to this part of Sutton Station today.

Looking across to Hood Hill from the Cleveland Way on Sutton Bank with heavy cloud masking the setting sun.
Sutton Harbour is right in the centre of Plymouth and is home to numerous yachts and small pleasure boats as well as a fleet of fishing boats and a handful of specialist craft. The oldest part of Plymouth, the Barbican, is out of shot to the left. Out of shot to the right is the large fish market as well as the National Marine Aquarium - the largest aquarium in Britain.
It was from near this point that the Mayflower Pilgrims set sail in 1620 and the Tolpuddle Martyrs left these shores in 1834, sentenced to seven years transportation basically for trying to set up a trade union. The government relented and brought them home after three years.

The rear elevation of Sutton Bridge signalbox bathes in the morning sun on 25th April 2026, as Transport for Wales Class 158 No. 158822 passes with service 1J07 0808 Birmingham International - Aberystwyth & Pwllheli. As the service consists of just one two-car Class 158, the Pwllheli portion will probably be formed by a unit off Machynlleth Depot. The now long closed footbridge remains in situ, although as the alternative is just a slightly longer walk over the former road bridge, reopening is unlikely.
