BANKING FREIGHT UP THE 1 IN 50 OUT OF BATH GREEN PARK

 

Freights had to be banked up Devonshire Bank through Devonshire tunnel on up Lyncombe Vale to the entrance to Combe Down tunnel where the gradient changed to 1 in 100 down and the banker dropped off returning to Bath Junction under protection of the 'Bath Banking token'1324081894_Screenshot(1024).png.1e918472148466138c3c04da4a6d69fc.png

Under Mogers bridge and the banker comes to a stand watching the guards van disappear into the gloom of Combe Down tunnel.

The banker is allowed 14 minutes for the push up the bank and return to Bath Junction
