LPPC DSL BW 0636 A Crompton Class 33 Type 3 6516 (later 33104) of the Southern Region has arrived at Exeter St Davids, journey’s end for this train from London Waterloo that has travelled via Salisbury and the erstwhile LSWR main-line. It seems it needs two platform staff to officiate over the uncoupling of the locomotive, after which it will run around its train of Mark 1 stock, ready for a return to London. When the SR line ran through to Plymouth via Okehampton it was always said that at St Davids there could be two trains, SR and WR, to that town in adjacent platforms but each facing in opposite directions.
