50011, 15.01 Penzance-London Paddington, Exeter St. David`s station I arrived at Exeter St. David’s just in time to see 50011 leading the 15.01 Penzance to London Paddington leaving the station. This 50 was the penultimate to be named and, in July 1987, was the first to be withdrawn. It is seen at the northern end of St. David’s Station from the level crossing just in front of Exeter Middle signal box. The level crossing was extremely busy, straddling all the lines in the throat of the station and was controlled by the box but a further member of the railway staff controlled the separate pedestrian crossing. He had a small hut at the foot of the main box and could always be seen in his hi-vis waistcoat about the crossing area. Keywords: 50011 15.01 Penzance-London Paddington Exeter St. David`s station
