Exeter St David's
HST Drag -1984
Clive Smith

On the 27th December 1984 the 09.05 Paddington to Plymouth HST suffered an engine failure on one of the power cars. 47238 was attached to the leading power car 43174 for the run over the banks to Plymouth. Judging by the plumes of exhaust from the front of the cavalcade leaving Exeter St Davids it must have been the rear power car 43134 that was ailing. Another HST sits on the adjacent platform. The semaphore gantry and through road have just a few months left. Regards Clive Smith. Copyright
