In a seemingly bucolic scene at Cowley Bridge Junction 46012 picks up speed away from its stop at Exeter working the 07.57 Penzance to Liverpool Lime Street. I say that the scene appears rural in nature but I am standing on a busy and narrow road bridge at the junction with the A396 and the houses of Exeter to my left. The Peak will have worked this service to Birmingham New Street (unless it had a stop at Gloucester where there would have been an engine change) and from New Street, an AC electric would take it onwards to its destination.
