THEN AND NOW - OBRIDGE


50043 departs Taunton and is seen passing Obridge viaduct during the 1970's/1980's. The 13 coach train is in complete contrast to today's 7 and 8 coach services to and from London!

Unfortunatly large amounts of tree growth have meant that this shot is no longer the clear location it once was. As of 2009 this shot was no longer possible! (Photo: Darren Harris)
50039 arrives into Taunton at Obridge (Taunton East Jn) On the 10th May 1989 with a four coach local stopping service from Bristol Temple Meads.
