73054 1961c Bath Green Park

Before additional SR type lamp irons were fitted to the smokebox door.

Peter Kerslake says "Bath Green Park station's overall roof is shown to advantage in this view on a very quiet day even though most of its former glazed windows which were destroyed by wartime bombing raids are clearly still missing, never to be replaced!
73054 is on what was commonly known as the "South Platform" which could hold nine coaches and was longer than the "North Platform" over on the left, capable of handling eight coach formations.
During busy Summer Saturdays many long distance workings would invariably have coaches extending past the platform ends and passengers for Bath were obliged to head forward through the leading coaches in order to alight."
