Cornish Parker Railtour

[devon_metro]

Some photos at a sunny Dawlish Warren of the return 1Z74 1635 Par - Crewe "Cornish Parker" Pathfinder railtour. Got really lucky with the sun as a beasty cloud was in the way right up to the wire.

Pleased with the results myself;

Any comments?

Cracking shots - you had the best of it;I was getting intermittently soaked in East Wales, chasing Castles!

Looks like DBS put Tractor 670 through the wash cycle on too high a temperature (just as well it didn't shrink, too...).

Waterloo-Penzance in a 159? Ouch... Unless legroom has been improved recently, last time I travelled in one, I nearly got Deep Vein Thrombosis...!

Cheers, I was indeed very lucky with the weather! Getting off the bus on my way back home, it was raining!

The SWT 158s and 159s still have the same seating arrangement as when built so I imagine Waterloo - Penzance would be a long journey! At least there is an alternative option on FGW.

Wow! What a load of crap photos!

Cheers. Next time though, don't claim to be a driver when you clearly are not

Glad to see you had the sun down there yesterday!!

Brilliant shot of St.Blazey, despite the "hungover" looks haha!
