Leaving Bristol for the 4 hour trip to Newquay,now fast to Exeter
Between Taunton and Exeter we pass the 1032 Paignton to Newcastle,the other NXEC HST booked to run on summer saturdays in 2008
Whilst stopped at Exeter the 0842 "Cornish Riviera" arrives from Penzance on route to Paddington via Westbury
passing Dawlish station
View from the wall at Teignmouth
Between Teingmouth and Newton Abbott we pass the 09.40 Newquay to Newcastle,this MML liveried HST was one of the last Valenta HSTs to
visit the south west this year
Footbridge view at Plymouth,we are a bit early here so I'm off to make some tea
Ah yes,my favourite part of any route for MSTS,the Royal Albert Bridge from the cab of our HST,I must say it never ceases to amaze me the talent some people have,this is a most fantastic model
2 more views of my favourite train,crossing my favourite bridge
A double voyager passes us before we get to Liskeard
View of the back power car at Liskeard
Between Liskeard and Bodmin we see FGW's Atlantic Coast Express working the 1139 Newquay to Paddington
Off the mainline at Par onto the sharp curve round to St Blazey,down to 20mph for the turnout
Interesting scene at Bugle,no local services on summer saturdays so this passenger is in for a long wait
Nearing Newquay now
Arriving into Newquay Station
Newquay as it used to be,it's amazing how times change,only one platform there now I believe.
