First tour train into Paignton today from Hull. Only here for 2h45m if it arrives on time. Only time for a cup of tea or view the two new hotels.
Weather is fine at the moment but has been diabolical for the last 9 months.

1Z43 0551 Hull to Paignton
So far mostly good in keeping to time.
Shown as planned high speed train, 125mph, so guessing a real HST▸ (High Speed Train)?
