31st March 1985

Diverted due to re-signalling work between Exeter and Taunton, this unidentified HST set is working a train between London Paddington and Plymouth/Penzance, and is coming off the link line between Pen Mill and Junction stations, having given up the token to the Junction signalman. The signal box and semaphores have gone now. I thought I would never admit it, but it's nice to see an original HST set, in original "InterCity 125" blue and grey!
