26th May 1991

The train was only 20 minutes late, but NSE Class 50 no. 50003 "Temeraire" clearly has had some trouble en-route as fellow class-mate no. 50046 "Ajax" was called in to assist. The 12.55 London Waterloo to Exeter St. Davids is approaching Axminister, passing Valley Path. "Ajax" was a favourite, mainly as I was able to grab and unofficial cab ride aboard this loco one evening from Axminister to Exeter! Happy days!!
