The first run on Sunday saw the class 40, D306, substitute for 1306 by hauling the 09.55 to Orton Mere. The headboard being "The South Wales T.P.O.", which was loaned to us by former TPO man John Summers.Picture by Paul Hancock. |
The leather pouches are hung from the lineside standard.Typical, one person does the work while five look on! Picture by Paul Hancock. |
D306 on one of the later exchanges displaying the headboard "GW TPO DOWN CENTENARY 1895 - 1995" which was carried for the benefit of Richard Yeo, who was actually operating the coach during this exchange. Richard Yeo had a TPO, 80345, named after him.Picture by Paul Hancock. |
The leather pouches land in the net (you can see one of the traductor arms returning to the upright position in front of the net), while the lineside pouches have yet to be collected.Picture by Paul Hancock. |
