A pair of HSTs sit at Exeter St Davids, 43004 heading to London, and 43148 tailing a Penzance train

143620 sits in Exeter St Davids platform 6 with a service to Paignton

A pair of rather grubby 159s descend the bank from Exeter Central with a service to Paignton. The front unit would terminate here

43034 slows to enter Exeter with a very well loaded 0722 Penzance - London Paddington. The previous service was cancelled! 

43366 enters Exeter St Davids with a Leeds - Plymouth service

43285 was on the rear as the train prepares for departure

43309 slows to a stand at Exeter working 1V45 0700 Manchester Piccadilly - Newquay service

43309 seen at Plymouth where it would continue with its rake of fresh air towards Newquay

43239 was the rear powercar in the fully liveried National Express set

150239 waits to head to Gunnislake in the drizzle at Plymouth

150239 at Gunnislake, the end of the Tamar Valley line. Off to Measteg!

At Bere Ferrers the train must reverse to take the Plymouth bound line

Back at Plymouth, 43301 sits alongside a FGW HST. The Cross Country HST should have been somewhere in Cornwall, however due to staff shortage was terminated at Plymouth.

With the Penzance train gone, a wider view of the Cross Country set can be seen which would be sat here until 1821 where it would return to Leeds
