A colourful quartet 
Roger Geach

Roger was down west for the weekend of the attempted non-stop run from Paddington to Plymouth on Saturday 7th May.  This was followed by a run back to Exeter and then along  the old Southern line to Okehampton. After 'seeing off' the 'Western'  Roger took his camera to take a couple of shots on the Barnstaple line. These will be added to our coverage of the branch in due course.
