IN37 " The Devonian" Paignton to Bradford, Forster Square. Due
to a landslip between Bristol and Taunton all trains from the west to
stations in the north and vice versa were diverted from Taunton to Bristol
via Westbury and Bradford on Avon and bath. As most local trains were
cancelled to enlarge the diverted traind to pass, some were stopped especially
to give a local service to passengers for Bath and Bristol. "The
Devonian" was stopped at Bradford on Avon for this purpose. as far
as I am aware, this is the first occasion when a passenger could board
a train at Bradford on Avon and travel to Bradford in Yourkshire without
a change of train en route.
