Hello Roger, Thanks for dealing with the last pictures. Here are three from Bristol in the 1980s starting with 47541 with the Saturdays only 07.15 Paignton to Inverness seen on 14 June 1986. I wonder if anyone travelled the whole route? Thanks, michael

Thanks Paul - the current sea of green the railway has become is quite bland compared to the previous liveries.
