150243 attacks the bank out of Totnes, passing the rolling Devon countryside whilst working 2C69 0900 Cardiff Central - Plymouth service. It has been rumoured that this will shortly be operated by loco hauled stock | |
An unidentified Voyager glides down the bank at Follaton, on the outskirts of Totnes with the 1M49 0940 Penzance - Manchester Piccadilly service. Think i'd rather drive than sit on a 4 car train all the way from Penzance to Manchester | |
Not too far behind was the slightly delayed 1A83 1000 Penzance - London Paddington. This train is one of the few with a 'Pullman' Restaurant service available. Based on the loadings visible in First and Standard class, there would be plenty of punters! | |
1S51 1223 Plymouth - Edinburgh with 43301 leading 43366 was the next train to pass Follaton - a small country lane crosses the railway | |
Following at a leisurely pace, 66615 with 6C59 1100 Burngullow - Hackney Yard (Newton Abbot) with a rake of sand/gravel |
