Class 52 D1001 Western Pathfinder under the signals at Exeter St. David's
4th July, 1976 Exeter St. David's.
D1001 Western Pathfinder with the 17:10 Paignton - Paddington.
The signalman in the Exeter St. David's Middle Box, the box just visible to left on Station Road Crossing, has given Pathfinder the road. The classic Western Region lower quadrant signal is in the off position.
The guard has given his consent, with flag and whistle, satisfied that all the doors are closed and his responsibilities are fulfilled.
Then my 110 instamatic camera catches that moment as the engineman, still looking back, opens up the twin maybachs and D1001 begins to draw away .
Odd to think that two groups, who would very soon become major influences in my musical tastes, would perform later that night at The Black Swan in Sheffield. The Clash en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clash would debut supporting the Sex Pistols en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_pistols.
