Redruth, it's 16.38 and D1015 Champion gives a slight haze of smoke as the engines are opened up producing that satisfying Maybach Music. It was very unfortunate for those on the down platform when the 16.38 down service rolled in to obscure their view just seconds prior to Champion's arrival - for once I'd been lucky!
