Team Meeting
An impromptu meeting underway between the LSL crew and GWR colleagues at Bristol Temple Meads with the venue being privately-owned Class 40/0, 40013 / D213 "Andania" (on hire to Locomotive Services Limited).
40013 (along with 145) were leading the InterCity Devonian Double tour, but plans were disrupted with a longer than scheduled stop at Bristol Temple Meads.
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.
