Well my initial feelings before I got home were that the day wasn't overly successful but looking back maybe it was!
Started off on the 0925 Voyager from Plymouth to Exeter. It was a dud. In fact my first winner wasn't until a lot later when 220026 rolled in to Newton Abbot, which I took to Exeter. Then up the hill to Central and back again. A winner for Peter going up, but for me coming back down. Whilst waiting for an eventual winning Cross Country HST power car (43301), I bagged another winning unit in the form of 143603 up to Exeter Central again. We walked back down (via a Whetherspoons!). Then we grabbed the XC HST to Newton Abbot before I bagged a winning 150128 to Totnes. There was time to head back to Exeter and then back to Plymouth with both trains producing winning FGW power cars. So total millage for the day was 270 and 14210 year to date.
Also spotted 66555 (winner) at Hackney Yard early in the day and the Tavistock Junction fuel train was hauled by 66115 (dud), spotted at Exeter at 1721.
So maybe the day wasn't so bad after all. It was cold though!
