GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Honeybourne

Long Marston Station: gwrlm2429

Ex-GWR 4-6-0 68xx Class No 6851 'Hurst Grange' departs from Long Marston sidings with an up empty stock working circa 1960

Ex-GWR 4-6-0 68xx Class No 6851 'Hurst Grange' departs from Long Marston sidings with an up empty stock working circa 1960. Long Marston's bobby (signalman) has just waited for 'The Cornishman' to pass before allowing the waiting empty stock workings to proceed back to Stratford to pick up passengers. See images 'gwrlm596' and 'gwrlm2428' for the other workings. Built by Swindon works in November 1937, No 6851 was to remain in service until June 1965 when it was withdrawn from 2A Oxley shed to be scrapped.
