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 |
