The Northern Belle passes empty coaching stock through St Austell. This really is a shot of the new - the class 68, and the old with the redundant footbridge still in position. Immediately behind the old footbridge can be seen its replacement and beyond that is footbridge carrying pedestrain traffic which once would have used the road level crossing at this location.
Class 68's to Cornwall. David Tozer

Sometimes one's luck runs out!
Keith,
Well I did get a brief glimpse of the 68's from a distance approaching Exeter (St David's). Guess what they  let the Waterloo stock out and this is all I got.
Well and truly stuffed. Dave  
Sorry David, it would have been such a good picture too but a nice one of the 159!
