2nd February 1980

British Rail
(Day Excursion)

Loco Used 47124 or 47214 (1)

Route :

Loco Route
(1) London Paddington - Reading - Newbury - Castle Cary - Cogload Jn - Exeter St Davids - Plymouth - Penzance
(1) Penzance - (reverse of outward route) - London Paddington

Notes :
(1) A potential difference of opinion regarding the loco ID - Mike Tetlow travelled on a Paddington to Penzance special on this date (07.32 ex-Reading and 18.43 ex-St Austell) but had the loco recorded as 47124 which he believes more likely (unless there were two trains?).
