$50043, 10.55 London Paddington-Paignton (1B62), Taunton West This classic location, to the west of Taunton station at the foot of Forty Steps Bridge, sees 50043 'Eagle' leaving the station with the 1B62 10.55 London Paddington to Paignton. Taunton was this train’s second stop of its journey after Reading. The magnificent gantry seen here was wiped away, along with all the other mechanical signaling, when the Exeter PSB was activated in 1986. The track layout at this end of Taunton station is hugely simplified today with a fraction of what is seen here still in existence.
