This was the ill fated trip that only made it as far as Exeter. The two locos were 76079 and 34067. The locos ran tender first from Minehead to Taunton. After running round here we see the train depart.
@steamtrains3 BoB and WC class locomotives were always prone to slipping due to their high power versus weight, even in BR days. If you want to know about poor engine handling look up what happened to Blue Peter in '94.
@cleckheatoncentral I was thinking the same my friend, what did they do let the passengers out near Poole and walk ???? A dearly missed line.
