Passing the 1400 Plymouth - London Paddington, the 1206 Paddington - Penzance accelerates out of Newton Abbot before tackling the steeply graded Devon banks | |
D1015 'Western Champion' and 40145 'East Lancashire Railway' were close on the heels on the preceding HST whilst working a 2 day tour from the North West to Penzance. Having received the green aspect D1015 leads 40145 as they accelerate towards Plymouth with 1Z40 0520 Crewe - Penzance. | |
A delayed Voyager was close behind, the vegetation at Aller is slowly growing and will be far more restrictive as the season progresses | |
