Roger, 37407 at the rear. The terminating service from Penzance blocked me from getting a shot of the DMU between the barrier coaches. It is rumoured that class 175 s may be coming to the West Country to replace the Castle sets, we shall see.I know what you would all prefer. Thanks, Michael Forward Copyright Michael Forward
Many Thanks Michael
