50010 Plymouth 14th December 1981
'Don't You Want Me' by The Human League was top of the charts when I took this picture of 50010 arriving at Plymouth with the 3S15 12.12 Penzance - Glasgow perishables usually consisting of cauliflowers, cabbages, potatoes plus some parcels. I must have been bored this day as I took four photos at the station with my cheapy Ektachrome camera using 110 film. Although there had been no snow in Devon, British Rail Western Region was still in chaos caused by deep snowfalls and freezing temperatures around Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, South Wales and the Midlands. Trains from London and the North were arriving over two hours late. With 46037 appearing on the 1M74 16.18 Plymouth - Birmingham I had a run off that to Exeter.
I was hoping to upload photos of tours operating this week of 50050 at Totnes and 50007 & 50049 at Teignmouth as I was scheduled to be working in these towns. Alas I've been re-allocated elsewhere to my annoyance so a grainy 50 photo from over forty years ago will have to suffice.
