Old photos of Montpelier+ what trains were used.

[InterCity:125]

I’m trying to find old photos of Montpelier station and the surrounding area while the station was double track. I’d also like info about what kinds of stock ran on the line (did GWR railcars operate in it?) and about the signal box.
Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean Montpelier, Bristol. I used to spot regularly at Stapleton Road in the late 50s and early 60s and don't remember ever seeing the GWR railcars on the Avonmouth line, but that's not to say they never ran on it. I remember a loco-hauled service with GWR small prairies (4500 class) or BR standard class 3 tanks, but these were replaced by BR dmus around 1960. In 1981 the railbus LEV3 was tried on the line.
