The long journey from Crewe to Bristol and beyond was clearly too much for some Warships http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5273626149/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/6181158630/

Thanks I have reset the links.

Bristol Barrow Road Shed had a Roster Board for its engines and turns. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5238032214/ Bristol engines had small red metal numbers for use of the Board. Here are two of the Jubilees allocated to Barrow Road in 1964 http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5765018981/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5765566970/

Here are two photographs of St Philips Marsh Bristol. This one shows Pannier Tank 7436 on the slope with mineral wagons leading up to the coaling stage http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5626785559/in/set-72157626201932662 This is the other side of the coaling stage with empty wagons stabled in the siding beyond the stage http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5821484894/

At Bristol Barrow Road Midland Shed it looked like coaling first, ash disposal second http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5891443528/sizes/l/in/photostream/

I imagine it probably failed in the Gloucester area and the local shed was able to carry out the repairs. When it returned to Barrow Road, it was put on local freight duties (as shown in the photo on 7.10 trips) to run in after repair. It then recommenced normal duties until withdrawal in March 1964. It was withdrawn three days after Leander (Monday March 16) and I remember walking around the shed and as I passed it stabled in the roundhouse I noticed that the nameplates had been removed - a sure sign of withdrawal. It languished on shed until the beginning of June when it departed for Birds scrapyard at Risca near Newport. I visited the site in 1965 hoping to see it, but it had been cut up.

Bristol Barrow Road Shed closed over the weekend of November 20, 1965, ending steam in Bristol. Here are some photographs from that last weekend on the shed http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5231042465/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5151165285/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5221536218/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5231042339/ and one of the shed in happier times http://www.flickr.com/photos/bristolsteam/5234430043/

Steam in Bristol on Saturday September 5, 1964. This was the final Saturday of the Summer service and the last time that Midland mainline trains were rostered for steam working.
