Saturday 20th April 2002 - London Paddington to Paignton
Compared with the "Western Pathfinder" tour two months before, I'd say there was no comparison! D1015 gave a superior performance which was gratefully received by all those present.
On
the left, approaching Twyford on the outward run and right, at Dawlish Warren,
the driver showed no trepidation about the abuse of power!
D1015
seen here running round the stock at Paignton carriage sidings.
On
the return, D1015 performed in exactly the same way, as seen approaching Newton
Abbot!
