50048 Plymouth - probably July 1979

A shot discarded 35 years ago but then "re-discovered" last year in some old slide boxes originally passed to Mr J Woolley to salvage the frames. Fortunately he never got around to it and the old slides are now back in my possession - this shot is one of the better ones which, with the wonders of modern software, I thought deserved a scrub and a run out.

 

No record of the number but it looks like 50048 "Dauntless" leaving Plymouth early one summer morning with a Paddington express. Thanks to Gray and Jez below I'm now pretty certain it was taken in the last week of July 1979 on a West of England Railrover.
