Sir Nigel wasn't exerting himself too much coming through Stoke Canon just now. Must be relying on Class 47 Lady Di to give him a shove over Whiteball !
Much to my annoyance I failed to press the red button on my video recorder on Saturday as Sir Nigel stormed through St Thomas station with a long train. A diesel was assisting at the rear. About 30 watchers and not all of them old farts.Sir Nigel wasn't exerting himself too much coming through Stoke Canon just now.

A tragic loss of a financial opportunity there Al. I'm sure that your tabloid of choice would have paid well for a clip of Lady Di giving Sir Nigel a vigorous shove up the rear!Much to my annoyance I failed to press the red button on my video recorder on Saturday as Sir Nigel stormed through St Thomas station with a long train.

We camped in the area(2nd Exminster Scouts) in 1972/73 just up from Christow.I remember camping with the scouts at Perridge next to the course of a railway. No mention of connecting Exeter and Christow !
"They say they are hoping this will also encourage people to travel on quieter trains." Not sure I follow their reasoning there............Greedy Western Railway whacking another 5% on local off-peak fares
