50016 Froxfield 20 June 1984

A slightly misty morning at Froxfield on 20 June 1984 as 50016 Barham heads eastwards with the 1F15 06:50 Westbury to Paddington. It may seem strange now, but this nine coach loco hauled train is an 'all stations' local service, pictured halfway between its Bedwyn and Hungerford stops. In 2012 there is a modern equivalent to this - the HST operated 1A72 06:07 Frome to Paddington, but otherwise local trains on this route are operated by Class 165 or 166 units.
