I've heard the Deltic and empty stock are running to Bishops Lydeard on the WSR for servicing during the layover.

A slight exageration regarding the coaching stock? Not at all.
The loco was immaculate as usual. The stock looked a mess. <BJ>

I would have preferred to see the Deltic in the original two tone green with white cab roofs.

Very picky to suggest that there were 13 carriages in 13 different liveries...


I only counted 12! and they didnt all appear to be different liveries.
