A late Summer evening at Exeter St David's, 3rd September 1983. 50027 worked in on 1V15, the 1510 ex-Waterloo and has run round the empty stock (to take it to the depot?), but I don't know what 45063 was doing. Anybody?

Ahh, a typical 1980's Dawlish scene. Happy holidaymakers waving to a Class 50-hauled train with a head sticking out of every droplight. Except that isn't a head protruding from the leading one!😀
No record of the working, but it's 50034 and the date was 23/5/81.
