The 0950 Penzance - London Paddington is seen coasting into Newton Abbot on an early autumn Sunday |
|
|
A pair of 159s, from the Paignton branch, are seen slowing for an adverse signal aspect, as they pass Aller, on the final approaches to Newton Abbot |
|
|
66153 leads 66116 on 3S14 0945 St Blazey (Par) - St Blazey (Par) circular via Newton Abbot Hackney Yard. The water canons spray a high pressure jet onto the rails hopefully increasing adhesion |
|
|
43207 tails the 1221 Plymouth - Edinburgh Cross Country HST Service, a far more suitable train for such a long distance journey than a 4 car Voyager |
|
|
A pair of Voyagers, a rare occurrence this far south, work the 0952 Birmingham New Street - Plymouth service. The train was routed via Stourbridge |
|
|
66116 leads 66153 on the reverse working, of 3S14 St Blazey - St Blazey. The RHTT (Rail Head Treatment Train) runs daily over this section of track, with the exception of Saturdays |
