143617 slows to stop at Starcross working the 1323 Exmouth - Paignton under a very threatening sky |
|
|
43367 blast north through Starcross working the 1321 Plymouth - Glasgow, the only northbound HST service on Cross Country today, due to diversions between Taunton and Bristol |
|
|
43035 leads the 1206 Paddington - St Austell service south through Starcross, with rain clouds all around |
|
|
43129 leads the 1400 Plymouth - Paddington past Powderham foot crossing, north of Starcross. Suprisingly it was actually raining at this point |
|
|
43015 was on the rear |
|
|
With the sun coming and going as it pleases, 142063 passes a very blustery Powderham foot crossing in a brief glimmer of sunlight working the 1423 Exmouth - Paignton |
|
|
Soon after, 159018 heads south. From December, South West Trains will cease to operate west of Exeter |
|
|
Very briefly afterwards, a Voyager flies past the foot crossing. The blue strip on the coupler denotes that the shop has been removed. |
|
|
Running around 10 minutes late, the 1306 Paddington - Plymouth passes Powderham as the wind blows away the thick cloud cover to reveal a clear patch of sunlight |
|
|
A very lucky hole in the cloud allowed this shot to be well lit, the front of the train can be seen disappearing into cloud cover |
