A few shots of the final evenings WT services in Trowbridge and Wesbury can be found at http://dennis-lance.fotopic.net/c908532.html. The lighting was absolutely dire - it was nearly dark when I headed out at ~18.00 so I'm sure these are not the best pictures of the day which will be posted.

Things were a bit different tonight, RIP notices showing on the departure screens, a few units carrying "farewell Wessex Trains" notices and free travel. Some First posters went up at Trowbridge today (although the new timetable posters do not have any First branding). Much debranding is still to be done - I would guesstimate about a third of all units still had some Wessex branding. The Westbury PA was also still announcing Wessex Trains services.

Left Jim doing an all nighter at Westbury!!!

Some nice shots in there Dennis. I'll get my final Wessex Trains photos up today too, although my handful were taken on 158961 in Newport on Monday.
