Although the ScotRail branding has been removed, 47706's faded Scotrail livery is hardy appropriate here as it passes Fenny Bridges (near Honiton) with the 1V11 11:00 Waterloo to Exeter St Davids Network SouthEast service on 20 November 1991. The former Edinburgh to Glasgow stalwart continued to work West of England trains in this tatty condition for a number of months. The loco was broken up in 1995, although bizarrely not officially withdrawn until a year later! Presumably the S reg Ford Transit camper van in this view has also been cut up by now! The shutter was deliberately fired a little earlier than normal here, not only to avoid the shadows across the track, but also to show off the rural scene to advantage. |
