I can advise that Bernard Westlake died some years ago (probably late 1980s or during 1990s but unsure of exact year). Prior to working in Swindon Panel he was a relief booking office clerk in the Bath/Westbury area and I remember him being on duty at Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge and Westbury stations in the period 1975-1978.
