A King comes to Exeter

Post by John Ashworth »

My brother-in-law tipped me off to the presence of 6024 King Edward I at Exeter St David's Station, fortuitously just at the time when Jane and I would be waiting for our connecting train. What a beautiful sight to see the King drifting in for the station stop, then barking a bit on the restart.

Apparently this has been taking place every Sunday all through the summer. This was the last trip, and on a fairly bleak day. But I don't think Exeter St David's is considered a particularly good photographic spot - maybe there were more people at Dawlish or somewhere?
