5 September 2004. Lots going on (a long and hot day!!).

34045 Ottery St. Mary (aka Taw Valley) was in charge of the Cathedrals Express to Exeter (carrying an Atlantic Coast Express headboard). Yeovil Railway Centre volunteers watered the down train during a short stop at Yeovil Jct (under the watchful eye of Network Rail staff).

A Whistle up to get the passengers back on board-watering continued until the last moment.

The engine moves away with its fully laden train of 12 Riveria Trains coaches.

Getting into her stride.

Pectin was giving brake van rides but with a difference.

The 6000 Locomotive Association visited for the day and held an open-air Committee Meeting.

John Miller was taken for a ride...........
