island traction
WN LS5Gs lurking at Torpoint.
At the back of Torpoint depot I found these 2 elderly LS5Gs, looking as if they were withdrawn. 1679 (MOD 970) and 1716 (OTT 12).
This was immediately following the withdrawal of routes 77, 78, 79, & 80 from 31.7.71. So it is probable that they no longer had anywhere to go.
Torpoint still operated routes 74, 81 and 86 and miraculously managed to survive until 2014? When First withdrew from the area.
