Unscheduled Stop
Privately-owned Class 40/0, 40013 / D213 "Andania" and the Class 40 Preservation Society's Class 40/1, 40145 / D345 - both on hire to Locomotive Services Limited - make a longer than scheduled stop at Bristol Temple Meads with the InterCity Devonian Double tour.
Due to flooding closing the line to Plymouth ahead, the train had to wait here whilst other options were considered, including a potential diversionary route, however ultimately the train was able to continue along its booked route, albeit delayed by around an hour.
The outbound leg was running as 1Z40 06:25 Preston to Plymouth.
