    A Streak to Paignton...

    Seeing your name and that title, you had me worried - but all is well thank goodness.

    A nice image John - I wanted to catch it when it passed us, but I could not find any transit times.

      Haven’t heard A4s called a streak for many a year, a delight to see in a good setting, like it John

        Great to see John, Thought you might be posting a picture when I was watching it on the Blenheim Camera from Dawlish beach and checking it's progress with Opentraintimes: Real-time track diagrams

            Thanks folks

            It took me by surprise on the way down although, perhaps, I should have know it was coming as I was actually sat reading Steam Railway (which has a main line diary) when it chugged past. A quick look online < Mainline Steam Tours > gave me the return time so was ready for it. Yes, I know it's a regular location for me but, well, it's just so convenient and I know nobody is going to erect a stepladder in front of me

            Fear not Mr. Liddle, no skinny dipping allowed in Paignton

            Cheers,
            John
