More March HST's

​(1a) This was Monday 29th at Dawlish at 13.13 and I was getting a bit concerned that my intended shot of the XC HST may get eclipsed by a DMU scheduled on the down line at the same time but thankfully I was spared. The 12.23 Exmouth - Paignton stands at the station with two 2-car class 150s, the rear set still being a First Great Western blue liveried example. The Cross Country HST which is the 12.27 Plymouth to Edinburgh is formed of 43303 leading and 43306 on the rear. Copyright Clive Smith.

(2) Tuesday 30th and another sunny day and another HST photo in quality light. With the sun positively blazing for late March and the lineside vegetation more brown than green through lack of recent rain, the drab green GWR livery stands out a bit more than usual. 43170 leads the 08.50 Penzance - Exeter St Davids through the site of Brent station with the rear power car being 43040. The red brick building with grey roof to the left and rear of the car park is the former Brent Goods Shed and home to my dentist where just ten minutes earlier I was having a rather large filling completed after a late start to my appointment. Perfect timing.. Copyright Clive Smith.

(3) 43156 leads the 08.00 Cardiff - Penzance off the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash. The rear power car is 43093. I did take a shot of this train a little bit further back coming off the arched section of the bridge but a very large articulated truck was passing behind on the road bridge but was positioned just above the power car making the image somewhat less aesthetically pleasing than I had hoped .

(4) Here is 43093 at the rear of the 08.00 Cardiff - Penzance with the already photographed 43156 on the front. Copyright Clive Smith,
Many thanks Clive for your second helping. Keep up the good work.

Suprise at Oath
Bill Elston

Hi Keith,
A rare visitor to Taunton today; class 73 no. 73964 worked  13.00 Westbury to Westbury via Taunton.
On hire to Colas, it had travelled to Westbury from Tonbridge yesterday 29th March.
In perfect light, IET 802014 is seen at Oath on its way to Paddington, closely followed by the 73.
Enjoy the sun
Take care,
Bill
