​(1) On the 5th November in fading light at 15.40 43005 awaits departure with the 14.55 Exeter St Davids - Plymouth. 43187 is on the rear. Meanwhile 43154 leads the 12.57 Penzance - Newton Abbot with 43155 on the rear. Great to see these superb trains operating secondary services in shortened form rather than languishing in scrap lines. A vast improvement on the younger 150 DMUs. Copyright Clive Smith.

(2) On the 7th November 70808 approaches Three Arch Bridge near Follaton west of Totnes with the 06.25 Moorswater - Aberthaw cements running three hours late. Some heavy shower clouds had reduced the light for a good fifteen minutes before the train passed but thankfully the sun broke through just in time. Copyright Clive Smith.
