7034 1957c Bath Spa
One could be forgiven for thinking that 7034 " Ince Castle " is on a " Running In " turn following a visit to Swindon in this splendid picture , but the " 455 " Reporting Number and Express Passenger lamps , in fact , show that this is certainly not the case and that this is the 8.20.a.m. from Weston Super Mare to Paddington , with 7034 having taken over at Temple Meads for a speedy run up to the Capital .
Two well turned out enthusiasts , complete with school caps , witness 7034's arrival and she certainly looks to have been through the Works recently.
Destined to be one of the last four "Castles " to remain in service , " Ince Castle " was withdrawn from Gloucester in mid 1965 after a failure on a freight during the weekend of 19th . and 20th. June , 1965 .
