The box was replaced by a temporary block post set up in a room in the Down Platform and a 2 lever Ground Frame to control the connection to Bury Bolton street. All this was closed 4th October 1970 when the line to Bolton was closed. Rob 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Another "We regret to announce..." Thanks to Stephen Burdett Quote Newton Abbot.2009 1015 and Oliver Cromwell. - 5/4/2009. 1015 comes to the aid of Nunney Castle which was detached from the Royal Duchy Railtour at NA with a tender problem. The track layout here is so reduced that considerable delays were caused to service trains as 1015 had to be summoned from Laira! It now pilots Oliver Cromwell away from the station. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Thanks to Robert Gadsdon Quote 1961 - 4700 in Summer.. GWR Churchward 47XX Class 2-8-0 4700 at Newton Abbot station, on a sunny day in July 1961. The loco was completed in 1919, and re-boilered in 1921. It was withdrawn in October 1962, and scrapped in March 1964. None of the class survived, but today (2022) there is an active project to create a 'new' member of the class, at the Great Western Society, Didcot, including several standard components from other withdrawn GW locos, and now including the boiler from an unrestored 'Castle' Class. Is that a Southern coach behind? Looks like part of a numbered set. In case it needs mentioning, the "new" 4709 is still being built.

KeithMacdonald Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Once upon a time I mentioned to someone I remembered getting on a Network South East train in Dawlish. He didn't quite call me a liar, but insisted I was wrong, didn't I know NSE only went as far west as Exeter Central? He was so insistent, I gradually came to believe I must have dreamed it. So finding this on Flickr is a great relief! Thanks to Brian Dean. Quote 50008+50019 At Newton Abbot. 28/08/1986. - 'Happy Days' at Newton Abbot as 50008 'Thunderer' and 50019 'Ramillies' are about to pass over the River Teign in opposite directions at the northern side of the station on August 28th 1986. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the one I’m thinking of (and I suspect it probably is), that coach just ended up in the Intercity pool and was often seen all over the place on cross country workings. I don’t think it was branded with Scotrail lettering though. It might have been numbered 5813 possibly? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
