50044 Exeter passes Chilson on 19 April 1987 with the 1B16 09:40 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill Network SouthEast service. This is the last time that I saw Exeter on the mainline in BR days, which is odd considering it wasn't withdrawn for another 2 years 8 months. As I was spending every available opportunity photographing the class in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it is strange that it eluded me for all that time! |
