43317 sits at the head of the 1M70 1520 Newquay - Manchester Piccadilly Cross Country service. This service uses a hired in National Express East Coast HST set |
|
|
43317 is seen leading the set onto Brunel's Royal Albert bridge, which ironically, he never lived to see being built |
|
|
"I K Brunel Engineer 1859" is on the entrance to the first of the two large spans of the bridge, designed to allow sailing ships access to the River Tamar |
|
|
43317 is seen sitting at Newton Abbot. With potential nationalisation of National Express looming, could this be the last year that we see this rare sight? |
