Unusual livery at Newquay
Nick Dyke 
Hiya Keith, 153305 has been for a C5 exam and returned in a neutral colour ready for shipping off to another TOC, it spent yesterday trundling up and down the Looe branch and today it's visiting the Newquay branch. We see it looking a tad dirty already after arriving at Newquay with 1140 (2N04) service from Par on 8th March.

Regards Nick Dyke                    Nice to hear from you Nick. thank you.
