Dawlish Delight
Clive Smith
Celebrity Inter City liveried 43185 was a nice surprise at Dawlish on the 11.30 Paddington - Paignton on Sunday 7th April 2019. This service  has been IET for quite a while now so it was nice to see an HST bucking the trend for IET takeovers. The rear power car was 43162. This set started out on a Bristol TM - Paddington and should end up at Cheltenham after returning to Paddington. Can there really be just six weeks left of GWR 2+8s on front line service ?
    Regards Clive.    
Many thanks Clive, your pleasure is ours too!

​April Showers
Craig Munday
​April 5th saw a shift at Penzance. I'm not one to wear a black armband for the end of HST's, but will record the final workings for posterity where I can. I have memories of enthusiasts resenting HSTs for replacing many of the loco hauled services as we grew up in the 1980s. So I try to stay neutral!
​    Best regards, Craig.   
Many thanks for your April bundle Craig.
