A GBRf route learning trip shoots through Axminster at 10.37, blowing the horn as it passes under the road bridge. This is the third of three so far this week, with Class 66/7 no. 66702 "Blue Lightning" on all three occasions. This is the outbound light engine, 0Z84 08.20 Eastleigh East Yard to Honiton. It would then do a Honiton-Yeovil-Honiton move and finish with a return back to Eastleigh. Despite the rain I went out to see this at three locations: Axminster, Honiton and Seaton Junction! Not sure I have ever been so keen on a light engine move before! See also the Honiton and Seaton Junction galleries.
