47551 Whimple 24 May 1992

47551 arrives at Whimple station on 24 May 1992 with the 1V08 08:15 Basingstoke to Exeter St Davids Network SouthEast service. Note the unusual arrangement with the single line passing the former down platform, even though the entrance to the station is on the other side, therefore requiring all passengers to cross the footbridge. Shortly after this picture was taken the track was moved over to the former up platform, and the footbridge and the down platform with its brick built waiting shelter were demolished. This is the only time I visited Whimple, so despite the poor weather it serves as a record of a different era.
