View westward, towards Exeter, Plymouth and Penzance; ex-GWR West of England main line. B-B type 4 'Warship' Diesel-hydraulic No. D818 'Glory' is heading the 'Cornishman' express from Penzance, going to Sheffield rather than to Wolverhampton as it had until recently. Behind the second coach can be seen the trackbed of the former tramway to Westerleigh.
