This year's one-and-only steam excursion on the old "South Western" ran today, so I headed down to the junction to see it. I knew that photo opportunities near the level crossing would be very limited, and remembered that the view from the field to the west side of the creamery site might offer a decent view. However, when I got there, there was great disappointment, as nature had run riot and the view I thought was there, wasn't! So I had to settle for the view from the foot crossing. I don't think it's too bad, perhaps a bit too "head-on", but not terrible.

"Clan Line" is in the loop. Southern Western Railway's - the new franchise holder - Exeter-bound service passes non-stop at 12.02, operated with units 159020 & 159101, as the 1L21 09.20 London Waterloo to Exeter St. Davids.
