Three different diesels at the eastern end of Bristol Parkway station. In the centre of the image First Great Western Class 43 HST powercar 43145 brings up the rear of a delayed westbound express service to Swansea as a Class 220 Virgin Voyager DEMU departs with a northbound Cross Country service - note the extreme difference in lengths of these two intercity express services!
On the right of the image EWS Class 66 diesel locomotive 66230 waits by the now disused Royal Mail platform with an eastbound freight service conveying coal, most probably from the South Wales coal field to Didcot Power Station.
In the background on the left is a long line of storred Royal Mail travelling post office vans awaiting their fate in Stoke Gifford rail yard on the south side of the station.
