DMU W13W 1961-04-23 Swindon Works

GWR Diesel railcar No W13W condemned at Swindon on 23 April 1961.

Peter Kerslake says "Oh dear, what a sad picture of W13W at Swindon, this Railcar being one of the series numbered between W5W and W16W and built by the Gloucester Railway and Carriage Company at the "Gloucester Wagonworks" as it was locally known, the first emerging in 1935. Bristol St . Philip's Marsh received an allocation from that series for use on services to Weymouth as well as running on local duties to Avonmouth, Weston super Mare and Portishead. W25W was probably one of the last survivors."
