Twenty years ago today saw the last of three days of activity with the 'Dawlish Donkey and thankfully for us Paul Barlow was there to record these two moments. Firstly with an irreplaceable view from Powderham and finally at Newton Abbot as 80079 takes a drink prior to, as Paul reports, a spirited run back to Exeter. Many thanks indeed Paul.

In the morning the down Night Riviera had to be terminated at Par with 57602 due to a hot box being detected. It was left in Chapel siding while 57603 came down from Reading depot, seen above coupled to the rear of the stock. 3d April 2019.Copyright Mark Lynam
