A short trip to the West Somerset Railway for the afternoon. It is a bit of a surprise and a special. With GWR retiring their Castle Class sets after 4 years of service as 2+4, they’ve ran out of storage! Fortunately, the West Somerset Railway swooped in to secure a deal, which in exchange for storage on their heritage line, 1 set would be used for regular services. It was rather bizarre to see the HSTs on the line, these are the trains that have been my commute to Plymouth and Truro for the last 5 years, sadly no more.
