Great little film. The Duke seemed to be in fine fettle. By the way. King Edward I could not take the Torbay Express because it had worked the Cathedral's Express from Bristol (Temple Meads) to Shrewsbury and return the previous day.

The Duke looking excellent as always, glad to see they ditched the class 47. Nicely captured. I got to Torquay station this morning ½ hour before it was due, waited for an hour no sign, I can only think it ran through early? Waited at Paignton for an hour to see it top up with water, after getting soaked I decided to return home only to here it climbing out of Torre from the back garden.

I did go to the WSR mixed traction weekend though yesterday, great day. You win some you lose some eh!
