The locomotive looks like a Midland Deeley 4-4-0 compound, renumbered when in BR service to 41024.

I think the station is Gloucester Eastgate, constructed in 1898 and closed in a rationalisation of Gloucester stations in the 1970s. The site is now host to an Asda supermarket. 1024 is probably heading a Birmingham-bound train

yes Martin or possibly even further north to Sheffield on a train from South Wales

Frank. Knowing the layout at Gloucester Eastgate, I think the train would have had to have come from Bristol. Had it come from Wales, it would have arrived and departed from the Great Western's station.

my apologies for my earlier comment, when I used to travel from South Wales to Yokshire you normally changed stations by walking over the connecting bridge not funny with a heavy suitcase.
