Here is the first of some pictures taken at Didcot which I hope will be of interest. This one shows 47488 on 6 January 2000,with a Cross Country service which terminated here because of late running.(In 1999 and 2000 we were worried about the Millenium Bug ,how things have changed this year, Copyright Michael Forward
Thanks Michael
Nr. Feniton

159 miles from London as 47581 gets the 12.28 Exeter to Waterloo going seen here at Feniton. 28th June 1992. Copyright Paul Barlow.
The former Sidmouth Junction was 159 1/2 miles from Waterloo so this must be the scene where the Sidmouth branch left the main line.
Feniton railway station serves the village of Feniton  in Devon , England. It was opened by the LSWR in 1860 but is now operated by South Western Railway which provides services on the West of Englan main line.  It is 159 miles 24 chains (256.4 km) down the line from London Waterloo.
It has been known by several different names, but from 1874 to 1967 it was Sidmouth Junction while it was the junction for the branch lines to Sidmouth  and through Budleigh Salterton to Exmouth. The above courtesy of Wikipedia.


Many thanks Paul.
