Off on a priv adventure for the first time in a while, first step, the only way to get to Waterloo, the wonderfully grubby Bakerloo. Lights flickering, seats bouncing, train jolting. Proper.

Next step - it's South Western Turbo time 😁 the only way to the west that's good for yer bum!

Salisbury, more than just a nice cathedral, it's the division point for our 8 coach train. The front 6 with me on will continue to Exeter via Yeovil, the back two will head up to Bristol via Westbury.

The railway has been recycling for decades, I've seen many fences made up of old rail, but I think it's the first time I've seen them used for the canopy. (Gillingham, Dorset)

Nothing seats off anxiety for an East Anglian like a slight hill.

Exeter Central with it's two former through lines still clear to see, I've got a date with the Exmouth branch

A fairly unique station - Lympstone Commando. Home to the Royal Marines training base.

Morning all from Plymouth where it has to be said GWR have messed up my plans for the morning to head to Newquay or Gunnislake. Not fun. A quick replan and I'm off back to do some bits and pieces around Exeter and Bristol, Cornwall will have to wait.
