LPPC DSL BW 0709 A total contrast in DMU front ends. On the right is a Gloucester-built Cross Country 3 car Class 119 unit (Set P583 - 51069, 59428, 51097) of the WR, adjacent to the unmistakeable shape of a narrow Class 202 Hastings line SR unit, which is absorbing the interest of young spotters. It is as if the Brute is keeping it caged until the GW can get rid of it back to its home territory. The WR train has arrived as a service from Barnstaple, which was substantially part of the SR main-line to and from Plymouth until Dr Beeching had his way, and in the eyes of many should be reinstated as such. Keywords: BR, Western, Southern, Class 202, Class 119, 1015, P583, 51069, 59248, 51097, Passenger, DMU, DEMU
