LPPC DSL BW 0710 In the early 1970s Western D1028 ‘Western Hussar’ strikes out south from Exeter St Davids with a West of England express which consists of the usual rake of Mark 2 stock and a Full Brake (BG). The bracket-signal gantry is remarkable and sadly no longer with us. In the far distance on the right can just be made out the point where the freight spur line to Exeter City Basin diverges. At this time this was still a thriving and busy freight terminal – albeit of the type of which British Rail was very anxious to rid itself. Keywords: BR, Western, Exeter St Davids, D1028, 'Western Hussar', Passenger
