159017-Starcross.
This view off a small jetty had remained the same for over 150 years until H&S decreed there was a possibility of a track worker falling into the sea .hence an ugly railing fence was installed completely ruining this location forever!. Anyway here is 159017 with an Exeter to Paignton service then operated by Network South East.This livery was far superior to the liveries that followed due to privitisation----But these corporate type never learn do they? The location is Starcross a few miles from Dawlish.....Summer Saturdays along this line were so interesting back then.mainly Loco-hauled and Hst's plus a few dmu's.
