View southward towards Bristol and Bath, also Swindon on the ex-GWR - see other Haresfield scenes for details. The 10.15 Teignmouth - Bradford express is headed by rebuilt Royal Scot Class 7P 4-6-0 No. 46101 'Royal Scots Grey' (built 9/27, rebuilt 11/45, withdrawn 9/63). Recently, since the Type 4 Diesels had come along to work WCML expresses, 'Royal Scots' had become commonplace on the ex-Midland main lines.
