(1) A welcome return of steam to the route since 2019, and it pours with rain! "Regular" Bulleid Pacific "Merchant Navy" no. 35028 "Clan Line" heads west near Kilmington at 12.24 on the 1Z82 07.52 London Waterloo to Exeter St. Davids "Atlantic Coast Express" railtour. It was motoring along in preparation for the assault of Honiton Incline.
