Tewkesbury Station, with train from Ashchurch, 1961
View eastward, towards Ashchurch. In its last few years, trains were operated on this branch by ex-GWR '5700' class 0-6-0PT, principally this one, no. 7788 (built 12/30, withdrawn 7/62). The Ashchurch - Tewkesbury - Upton-on-Severn - Great Malvern branch was closed beyond Upton on 5/12/52, the rest on 14/8/61 (seven months after this photograph), but freight continued another two years.
