67017 "Arrow" leads 2C67 0800 Cardiff Central - Paignton service on behalf on First Great Western past Hollicombe. As a result of unit shortages the DfT funds a second loco hauled set running to Paignton in the path of a former South West Trains service | |
Look what you could've had... 142009 on a Paignton - Exmouth service, in brilliant winter sunshine. Such is life | |
Having spent 30 minutes in Goodrington sidings, 67017 (with 67016 at the front) sits at Paignton whilst waiting to form the 2U20 1247 Paignton - Cardiff Central | |
The 1106 Paddington - Plymouth arrives into Exeter St Davids, it would be the last service to arrive from the direction of Taunton for a number of hours, owing to a body being found on the line near Stoke Cannon | |
67016 sits at Exeter St Davids waiting patiently at Exeter for a departure, that would never come | |
A closer view of 67016, the white stuff on the platform is not snow, but salt to melt the ice on the platform | |
43378, forming one of only 2 HST diagrams on Cross Country was turned around after leaving Exeter St Davids due to the fatality. It is seen on a bitterly cold day, having disgorged its passengers for onward bus travel to Taunton | |
67016 draws up to the signal before going into Riverside Yard, due to being cancelled as a result of the line being blocked |
