33021 and 33027 double head the 1V61 09.20 Brighton to

Exeter St. David’s train as it leaves Salisbury. It will travel up the L&SWR /GWR lines as far as Wilton Junction where it will diverge to the left and take the Wessex route to Exeter via Yeovil Junction. These Brighton workings were usually double headed by 33s but later on class 50s could also work them. Notice in this picture, Salisbury West signal box can be seen along with some of its associated signalling. Whilst I was on the platform end, I noticed an abandoned signal arm with a pile of rubbish over to the left of this image where the canary yellow BR vans are parked. I made some enquiries and ended up doing deal for £5 to buy it. The following week, my mum kindly went to salisbury after she had finished work in Warminster and picked it up for me. Some 40 years later I still have that signal arm and it is proudly displayed in my garden, see the image at the end of this section.
