LPPC DSL BW 0486 The train parked here in number 4 platform at Penzance is perhaps more interesting than the Western Class 52 D1021 ‘Western Cavalier’ at its head. It consists of two ex-Great Western Siphon G bogie-vans affixed with Enparts identification plates and they bookend a Mark 1 Corridor Brake, all allocated to the motive power department. The train is either waiting to back down to Long Rock motive power depot to deliver/pick-up locomotive spare parts, or has finished its business there and is awaiting a suitable empty-stock and/or parcels train to which it can be attached for return to its home depot which could be Laira, Bristol Bath Road, Old Oak Common, or possibly even Swindon Works.
