SPRING STEAM SPECTACULAR GALA: Last year this loco was turned out in a garish purple livery to mark the late Queen's platinum jubilee. That might actually have been a little more acceptable than this rather odd choice of livery - Southern Railway wartime black with SR numbers - 21C127! At 16.22 Bulleid West Country Pacific no. 34027 "Taw Valley" approaches Leigh Woods Level Crossing with the late-running 15.30 Bishops Lydeard to Minehead.
