50017 Whitchurch 20 April 1991

50017 Royal Oak pulls away from Whitchurch station on 20 April 1991 with the 1O32 06:45 Exeter St Davids to Waterloo Network SouthEast service. The LSWR architecture is still much in evidence. 50017 was to only last another four months in traffic, failing with the Class 50's achilles heel - a main generator flashover.
