19th April 1989

Network South East's Class 50 no. 50017 "Royal Oak" was obviously in a little bit of trouble and needs some attention. Class 47/3 no. 47359 powers through the station with the errant 50, which is likely headed to Plymouth Laira. In the meantime Class 33s nos. 33047 & 33211 have arrived and shut down in the station with a train of "Seacow" ballast hoppers from Meldon Quarry.
