6024 King Edward 1 + 5029 Nunney Castle, Cornish Riviera Express (day 1)

Saturday 26th June 2010. Probably the only people not enjoying the glorious summer heat where the crew of 6024 who, having struggled with a recalcitrant fire, finally gave up and embarked on a rebuild at Frome, adding 40 minutes to the schedule. To reduce the risk of further delays, the back-up Western was rushed back from Exeter and attached to the front at Taunton, which made my trip to Whiteball to witness the King pulling a proper load, a waste of time! Logistics dictated a spot between Totnes and Plymouth for the double-headed leg of the tour and although the summer growth along Rattery bank left a lot to the imagination, it gave time to pass a shortened stop in Plymouth to film at Treboul in wonderful evening light whilst the St Germans cricket team played a home game in the distance. A severe speed restriction through St Germans goes some way to explain the slow progress up the bank, but I am sure the crew were also thinking of preserving the shape of the fire by going easy on the regulator. My tentative (jerky) zoom-in on the pass was the result of trying to cut out a late arriving photographer who had inadvertently moved down into my shot.
