St Germans '87
Neil Phillips

​Further to my visit to Liskeard on 16th September 1987, I (we!) moved on to St Germans to take a few more photos, where a couple of HSTs turned up – one form of motive power not seen during a longer visit to the first location. HST coaching stock liveries were still in transition from classic blue/grey to striped Inter City at that time (the first IC-liveried set had appeared in 1983 but it took a while for the repainting programme to get into its stride).
 
Best regards, Neil Phillips
