37688 & D6817 (37521) pass through Newton Abbot with the 1Z45 06.00 York - Paignton LSL Inter City 'The Torbay Delight'. 47828 is on the rear. This should have been 45118 but that's not going to be on the main line anytime soon. This was a dreadfully dismal grey day with thick low cloud. No sign of the sun all day. It was even gloomier for the return 1Z46 16.19 Paignton - York. Copyright Clive Smith

Bathpool and the station at
Bill Elston

Hi Keith,
I was at Bathpool today (19th for the passing of the RHTT working from Westbury to St Blazey t/t by 66129 and 66069, now looking somewhat grubby.
It was closely followed by the Torbay Delight railtour from York to Paignton and return. This was headed by 37688 and 37521, and tailed by 47828.
Then over to Taunton station for the Plymouth to Edinburgh working 1S51, with powercars 43184 and newly named 43366.

Please see photos.
All the Best,
Bill Elston
