Aberystwyth April 1965 - a photo on Flickriver

Aberystwyth April 1965

            'Manor' class 7822 'Foxcote Manor' stands in the pouring rain at Aberystwyth, emitting steam from a number of places the designer never intended.  This is typical of the run-down state of ex-GWR steam at the time, and both nameplates and smokebox number plates have disappeared.  The Manors were noted for their performances on the 'Cambrian Coast Express' in the 60s, and although there is no headboard, I wonder if this could be that very train.  Does the station clock give a clue?
