The West of England Division stretched from Penzance in the west to
Blackwell Summit at the top of the Lickey Incline to the north of
Bromsgrove. Geographically it was the largest of the three
operating divisions of the Western Region, and in many ways the
most varied. Bristol was the headquarters, and the hub of the
division, with a complex network of local lines and a major
locomotive depot at Bath Road. There were InterCity services to
London Paddington and on the Cross Country route to the West
Country. By contrast, some of the DMU-worked branch lines in Devon
and Cornwall were much more rural in nature. Summer Saturdays saw a
large number of extra trains head west along the sea wall at
Dawlish. Freight traffic, though generally in decline, included
china clay from the west and stone from the Mendips, as well as the
new Speedlink services. This book contains a selection of images
from across this part of the country.
