50039, 10.56 Penzance-London Paddington, The Cornish Riviera (1A81), Parson`s Tunnel Looking west from Parson’s Tunnel, a very tatty 50039 'Implacable' takes the 1A81 10.56 Penzance to London Paddington, the up ‘Cornish Riviera’ along the sea wall. The condition of many class 50s by this time left a lot to be desired. They were becoming increasingly unreliable and unloved by the drivers and maintenance staff alike, so BR set about a programme of refurbishment. The first to be out-shopped from Doncaster was 50006 'Neptune' in November 1979. It was in standard BR blue with the hole for the centre headlight plated over, allegedly due to a shortage of parts.
