My study of timetables shows that as long as everything (especially water stops at Chard Jct and Plymouth) runs to schedule (now there's a hostage to fortune!) the 'Dog's Breakfast' steam trip this coming Friday is eminently viewable by those like myself without their own transport, as follows:
Penryn d. 09.04
Truro a. 09.18 / 09.26 (08.44 from Penzance)
Exeter St Davids 11.38/ 12.27
Crewkerne a. 13.19
34067 due to pass Crewkerne about 13.45
Crewkerne d. 13.49 (seems very tight headway)

34067 due to pass Axminster 14.28
Axminster d. 15.03
Exeter St Davids a. 15.44
Engine change at Exeter St Davids to 5029 and 34046

In practice, will it work? Or maybe I've misread the timetables - it wouldn't be the first time that had happened. John Ball
