22nd Oct 1983

Hither Green Depot's Class 33 no. 33040 rolls into Axminster with the 09.20 Brighton to Penzance train, a Saturdays-only service that always brought one of HG's rarer "Cromptons" to the line. This part of the old don platform, east of the A358 road-bridge, has since been closed off to the public.
