Sagging Off


In July 1974, I went to Bath University for a one-week summer school. By the Wednesday, I was getting a little fed up with the offerings from some of the poorer speakers, so I sagged off and had a day watching trains in Bath and at Bristol Temple Meads. It was probably the highlight of my time away.

In spite of track lowering through Bath’s Sydney Gardens, in connection with the electrification programme, Brunel’s wonderful route through the park must still be a great place to view trains. The additional “temporary” fencing now deemed necessary, appears - from the random video evidence available on the internet - to have actually been in place for a few years now.
