Ex-GWR 4-6-0 Hall class No 5954 'Faendre Hall' is seen standing at the South end of Platform 7 ready to depart with the up Cambrian Express to London. The white painted background to the signal above the up through road was a common feature found on GWR structures where signals were placed immediately to the fore. Built at Swindon works to Lot 297 in December 1935 No 5954 remained in service until October 1963 when it was withdrawn from Bristol St. Philips Marsh shed to be scrapped during July 1964 by Coopers Metals of Sharpness.
