Ah but then I'd miss the dawlish sea wall. Thanks for the idea though!If you did it just to Exeter then you could return on 1E63, which is out of Exeter at 1625ish. Would give you about 40 mins in Exeter mind.

There is only the 1 error for the Saturday.
Two of the three pairs of trains listed don't exist in the the way they are shown in the December timetable, so I'd say there are at least two errors.There is only the 1 error for the Saturday.
But not today.Does anyone know if 1V54 is expected to be a HST on a friday during the current winter timetable

Depends what time of day it was. XC02 was there all day (likely to have been in the shed), XC01 with 43301+43384 was there until late afternoon (before working 1E73, and XC04 43366+43357 would have been there from early evening onwards (set off 1V54).Which set would I have seen stabled in Laira last Saturday please? Was driving so only glimpsed a power car.
