Title: First IET in passenger service from Exeter - 25/05/18 Post by: PhilWakely on May 25, 2018, 07:27:18 (Unconfirmed)
1A72 05:53 Plymouth to London Paddington cancelled between Plymouth and Exeter due to a train fault. The IET currently being used for crew training was pressed into service apparently.
