In dreadful light Jubilee class 45596 'Bahamas' and B1 class 61306 'Mayflower' pass the site of Brent station with the 1Z43 17.20 Exeter St Davids - Plymouth leg of the Steam Dreams London Victoria to Penzance charter. This was the most appalling day of weather in south Devon with constant rain, often torrential with just a few minutes respite here and there and no sun. The foliage is already turning yellow and brown and autumn definitely felt on the way. Right up until five minutes before it passed the rain was hammering down but my optimism that it would clear turned out to be right.
Regards, Clive Smith.
