EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Cirencester Town Station in Gloucestershire, along with the iconic Railbus (W799xx), captured around 1960. Steeped in history, this station opened its doors to passengers in May 1841, serving as a vital transportation hub for the local community. However, after more than a century of operation, it sadly bid farewell to its last travelers in April 1964. The image transports us back to the early 1960s or perhaps even the late 1950s when steam locomotives still dominated the railway landscape. The Railbus (W799xx) stands proudly on the tracks, showcasing its sleek design and compact size that allowed it to navigate smaller stations like Cirencester Town effortlessly. Notably, this photograph also highlights the architectural beauty of Cirencester Town Station's original building. Its timeless charm earned it Grade II listed status in 1971—a testament to its significance within British railway heritage. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryear, we are reminded of an era when train travel was at its peak and stations like Cirencester Town were bustling with activity. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich railway history and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those bygone days.
