Great Western Locomotive 1450 pulls out of Buckfastleigh station with the 15:40 train watched by schoolboy trainspotters young and old at May half term 1973. I must have been enthusiastic at 16, to take myself by bus from Bude to Plymouth, then to the Dart Valley Railway, where I got a train from Staverton Bridge to Buckfastleigh, then the bus to Exeter and from there back to Bude. The numbering suggests that this was the first slide film I ever took, on Agfa CT18.
