31st March 1985

Class 47/0 no. 47101 is kicking up some dust on the approach to Cloakham. It's working a 09.45 Salisbury to Plymouth train, one of many unusual services running thanks to the modified timetable in conjunction with the remodelling going on at Exeter St. Davids.

This view has changed a lot since 1985 - two tracks instead of one, and far too much lineside vegetation!
