Description
A vid from back in May 1994. There was an open day at Exeter Yard and Hertfordshire Railtours & Pathfinder Tours both ran special tours to Exeter St Davids. HRT used a pair of 20s (should have been a triple but a lack of serviceable 20s meant only a pair) from Paddington while PF used 3 x 37s. For the return workings the tours swapped locos so both tours got all 5 locos for haulage! We see the Hertfordshire stock arrive at Paddington along with the class 20s plus the ECS of the Night Riviera leaving for Old Oak, while at Exeter St Davis the stock departs and the Pathfinder tour arrives. The upload finishes with the 3 class 37s departing Paddington light engine. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
