At 14.13 the 1L29 11.15 London Waterloo to Exeter St. Davids passes a high voltage pylon at Weycroft, Axminster. The train is made up of a Southern Western Railway Class 159 and Class 158 combination.
I did hesitate including the pylon, as it is not a natural choice to do so, but there was little option at this location, and besides, these structures have been part of the English countryside for an awful long time, nearly 100 years in fact, the first one being erected in Scotland in the 1920s! Apparently there are 88,000 pylons in the UK, 22,000 owned by National Grid. There's a useless bit of information for you!
