I can highly recommend jumping on the open top Bath city tour bus, you can get on and off as you go around and of course you have some great vantage points up high. I was disappointed with the second route that’s available on the ticket, it sweeps out of the city and around the outskirts but most of the views are blocked by trees. So my advice would be do the city route once, get an idea of what you want to photograph then go a second time jumping on and off along the route

Eastleigh allocated 33 014 rolls into Bath Spa as passenger wait eagerly to join the train. The loco is working 1O75 the 12.14 Bristol Temple Meads to Portsmouth Harbour.
Sadly 33 014 met an early demise being withdrawn after accident damage sustained at Theale on 08/01/86.

The loco was cut up on site by BR at the depot in November of the same year.

Been living down here for nearly 5 years and this was one of the few times that I have done the tourist day out in Bath complete with open top bus tour, although any time I have to go to the city I make sure I pop into the little sweat shop over there because they sell the best range of liquorice.

ex-EMR power cars 43060 + 43050 were on short term lease from Porterbrook to assess their suitablility in place of 37s and 67s for Network Rail's test trains.
I did not go into the Roman Baths this trip. It was fairly crowded, the line to get in was stretched around the block. With it being that crowded, it would not have been a pleasant visit. I like being there when it’s an off season. I realized this trip that I’ve never been inside Bath Abbey and no time to see it this day. Something new to see when I go back.
