9th March 1988

An empty stock working arrives at platform 6 behind my favourite 50, no. 50009 "Conqueror". I always rated this loco on the Waterloo to Exeter services. It always seemed to get to the west portal of Honiton Tunnel in the fastest time from a standing start at Axminster, compared to the others.
The West Box has gone, the semaphores have gone, but the old GWR brick building remains.
