Paignton dep 9:14 (GW 150 -> Exmouth)
Newton Abbot arr 9:30
Newton Abbot dep 9:35 (GW 43 "HST")
London Paddington arr 12:21
London Underground to Liverpool Street
London Liverpool Street dep 13:10 (One 317)
Stansted arr 13:56
A Voyager to Birmingham via Bristol
A local train with class 153 and 150
The first HST from Penzance "Golden Hind" was 40 minutes late
The next HST followed 8 minutes later, so I couldn't find another spot as planned
Maintenance work
And the next HST, 15 minutes behind the previous one
This time with old engine towards London
A Voyager, now on the other side of the station
At 9:47 the HST passed which I was about to take the next day
I walked uphill for a better view
Meeting Voyager/HST
The first HST of the day London - Penzance disappointed sound-wise with two refurbished engines, not only me but also a group of children (see video
The next HST to London was stopping at Dawlish
A quiet day at the beach ;D
Now I went on to Paignton for the Paignton & Dartmouth museum railway:

After a ride on the train I arrived at Kingswear opposite Dartmouth which can be reached by ferry. Great Western 4555 "Warrior" is reversing next to the "Devon Belle" observation car
The River Dart at low tide, viewed from the train I took to Goodrington
One of the best known photo spots of the line, Saltern Cove, with the train at 14:30
Going downhill at 15:40, same place
And the next train at 16:25 passing Goodrington beach
Paignton Pier on the last morning, after good, long sleep (no wonder after three nights straight without hotel!)
Arrived punctually at London Paddington
Heathrow Express at Paddington
Impressions from Paddington
And a last photo from London Liverpool Street station with One class 317 as Stansted Express
That was the last part from this journey, I hope you enjoyed it!
