30th April 1979

Class 121 W55025 Liskeard 30 April 1979. We had to get off on the branch platform and wait on the main line platform while the Bubble repositioned after working the last service of the day up from Looe and then formed a stopper to Plymouth. Sadly despite me working for BR at the time the crew wouldn't allow us to stay on board to do the rare connecting line off the branch. Somewhat oddly after this they did however agree to make a special unscheduled stop to set down at Devonport where we were staying in the Youth Hostel, thus saving us the trek back out from the city centre.
