EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 1960, we witness the joy and excitement of Swindon holiday makers as they disembark at Weston Super Mare station. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with families, friends, and colleagues from the iconic Swindon Works staff. As part of their annual Trip holiday tradition, these hardworking individuals have ventured out to the picturesque coastal town for a well-deserved break. The atmosphere is palpable as laughter and chatter fill the air. Children eagerly clutch onto their parents' hands while others excitedly explore their new surroundings. The railway village community has come together to create lasting memories amidst the sandy beaches and refreshing sea breeze. This snapshot not only encapsulates a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when such trips were cherished opportunities for relaxation and bonding among coworkers turned friends. It serves as a testament to the strong sense of camaraderie that existed within Swindon Works staff during this period. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR, this print invites us on a journey back in time – reminding us of simpler pleasures and highlighting the importance of taking moments away from work to rejuvenate our spirits.
