Plumes of exhaust linger in the morning sky as an immaculate 'Western' Class 52 No. D1015 'Western Champion' makes a splendid sight as it leaves Bristol Temple Meads atop the 07:27 Birmingham New Street-Plymouth charter 'The South Devon Explorer', operated by 'Vintage Trains' captured on a very warm and sunny 10th May 2025. Also in view is the going restoration work of the station which has seen the recent removal of the white covering at each end of the train shed and replacement of the roof glazing panels.
