47205 passes Stoke Orchard in failing light on 8 July 1987 with the 6V70 14:02 Cliffe Vale to Exeter Riverside china clay empties. This was running nearly two hours early, which was lucky, as even though it was near the longest day, at the booked time of 20:55 it would have been virtually dark on this particular evening. The shorter than normal train may mean that this train had actually started from Bescot on this occasion, with the five wagons seen here all originating from Scotland. The three strange looking PRA wagons were returning from Corpach to Pontsmill, and the two PBAs at the rear could possibly be from Auchmuty.
