25th March 1991

The view from Hampton Lane, Whitford, looking towards Seaton Junction, afforded me this scene, an admittedly rather awkwardly back-lit shot of Class 33/1 no. 33117. It's working the 14.22 Exeter St. Davids to London Waterloo service through the cutting and soon it will be in more open country as it passes through the Axe Valley towards Axminster station.
