Stabled in the servicing area adjacent to bay platform 1, TfW Class 197 no. 197050 rests in the sun at 08.25. I noticed those 1960s-era canopy-mounted lamps with the station name displayed, a common sight in the day but there can't be many of these around anymore. Part of the station building, and The Queen Hotel, can be seen beyond.
