For the first time since June I was meeting Peter for a pub lunch and then to photograph several planned loco hauled trains in the area. Along with this there was always the hope that four of my required (for haulage) HST power cars and the newly transferred 150/1s were out!
First up was FGW 57604. Due to run light engined to Plymouth for driver training this was first spotted at Exeter Depot. Next up was the RHTT consisting of 66199 and 66006 heading to St Blazey. Then it was down to Plymouth to photograph 57604 there. It left Exeter early and we were planning to be ahead of it. For some reason it was held at Totnes so we did get ahead. A few photos at Plymouth before heading back to Exeter for the Exeter - Cardiff Tidal scrap train.
No winning trains for sight or haulage but some good photos. A reasonable 218 miles travelled and a good laugh with Peter.
