Late at night at
St Austell
Jon Hird

If you’d have told me 5 years ago that I would be one day heading out at 10pm to photograph a HST, I’d have been concerned about the mental state of my future self!!
Yet here we are in 2023 and the attraction of a (nearly) full size HST in Cornwall was just too much for me to pass up.
Here’s a photo taken at 22:25 of 43239 standing at St. Austell on its way to Plymouth and it’s bed for the night, working 2C80 in place of the booked Voyager.
It’s had a busy day, having worked its way down from Scotland already. 
All the best, Jon Hird.
