GWR 4-6-0 Star class No 4065 'Evesham Abbey' runs through the station on an up express two years before it was rebuilt as a Castle class locomotive circa 1937. Built by Swindon works in December 1922 No 4065 remained in service as a Star class locomotive until July 1939 when it was withdrawn from Stafford Road shed to be rebuilt as a Castle class locomotive and then allocated to stock as No 5085 but still retaining the original Saint Class locomotive's name.
