The loco hauled day stock off the Night Riviera provides a very interesting ride to Exeter on summer Saturdays - the ride in the superb stock is far superior to anything offered by any other rail, or road, for that matter, vehicles. An added bonus for us and Roger Winnen are the tail end views which he is able to bring us. Many thanks to Roger for last Saturdays the 9th August views.
