6th April 2024 4 By Whitlocks End

A scenario for the Just Trains South Western Expressways – Reading Route.

On Saturday 9th June 2018 Pathfinder Railtours operated ‘The Peak District Explorer’ from Taunton to Buxton and back. Because of a major brake fault at Westbury 66129 had to be replaced by 66177. This resulted in the ECS arriving late at Taunton so departure was delayed by some 45 minutes.

Briefing: Drive this service from Taunton to Bristol Temple Meads. Be prepared for delays along the way!
