33029+33025 Burlescombe

The colours of Spring are signified by a solitary hawthorn blossom bush and a field of buttercups; meanwhile 33029 and 33025 drift downgrade from Whiteball with the 1Z25 07.00 Burton upon Trent-Paignton "The Crompton Torbay Venturer" excursion, promoted by Pathfinder Tours. It's been several years since a pair of Class 33/0's last worked into Devon; the last known workings I could locate for this pairing appear to be 1988 and 1992 respectively (unless anyone can correct me otherwise).

 

Taken with the assistance of a pole - it was a rather breezy day, but my recently acquired carbon fibre pole stood up to challenge and impressively managed to remain steady to capture this picture when previously (with the old pole) I wouldn't have bothered in similiar conditions.
