2nd October 1965

Ian Allan
Pendennis Castle Special

Locos Used D841'Roebuck', 3205, 4079 'Pendennis Castle' & 4555

Route : X40 throughout

Loco(s) Route
4079 London Paddington - Reading - Southcote Jn - (via Berks & Hants) - Cogload Jn - Exeter St Davids
4555 + 3205 Exeter St Davids - Totnes
D841 Totnes - Exeter St Davids
4079 Exeter St Davids - Taunton - Bridgwater - Bristol Temple Meads - Filton Jn - Westerleigh Jn - Wotton Bassett Jn - Swindon - Reading - London Paddington

Notes :
(1) Train was used to deliver 3205 & 4555 to the Dart Valley Railway.
(2) R. Dobson offered what was basically an identical itinerary using the same locomotives as having run on 2nd November however this is believed to be a date error as it seems very unlikely 4555 & 3205 were to be delivered to the Dart Valley Railway twice...
