Take a trip to St Ives on a 158

« on: January 31, 2021, 15:04:19 »

At a time when we are all stuck at home, it was particularly nice to watch this video of a full one way trip from St Erth to St Ives filmed on 28 January last year on a 158 (could well have been the first visit of a 158 to the line in recent times).

Are the 158s in Devon/Cornwall based at Bristol St.Phillips marsh? The video was nice to see, wish I could ride it in real life though!

Whilst I like the Class 158 & 159s,

I'd prefer to enjoy a Video of a Class 158 going Plymouth to Exeter or Versa Vice, via Tavistock Grin

Enjoy the real thing even more Cheesy

Mostly Exeter, I think.
