Coswinsawsin
Chris Harvey

Please find attached a lovely shot taken in Saturday's sunshine! Here is 43005 on the front of the 0950 Plymouth - Penzance, running 30 mins late, and captured from the overbridge at Coswinsawsin, just north of Gwinear Road.  Best Regards, Chris Harvey                                             Many thanks Chris. A new location to me and a long name- well done.

Totnes Interlude
Clive Smith

Monday 1st April 2019 saw me in Totnes and an opportunity to photograph celebrity BR liveried 43002 in bright sun at the station. Whilst there I took a shot of the expanse of air where the former footbridge was until very recently. Not sure when it was taken down but it wasn't there on Friday.
           Regards, Clive Smith  
          Many thanks Clive

(1) 43002 brings up the rear of the 20 minute late running 09.03 Paddington - Plymouth. This train is safe for HSTs for another six weeks going over to IET after May 17th. This picture 1st April 2019. Copyright Clive Smith

(2) Feels a bit strange without a footbridge at this location where there has been one for so very long. As predicted the Signal Box Cafe is now accessed via a ramp of the severed bridge on the up platform. The Voyager is the 09.35 Penzance - Manchester. 1st April 2019. Copyright Clive Smith

(3) Following a very swift turn around at Plymouth the 12.55 Plymouth - Paddington arrives on time with the extremely smart 43002 now leading.1st April 2019. Copyright Clive Smith.
Commuting
Bristol to Yatton

I travel through Bristol Temple Meads most Mondays. Having seen short form HSTs on training runs last month, I was delighted to see them on service trains at last!
