46046, 10.30 York-Newton Abbot Motorail (1V81), Hele & Bradninch (Courtesy of GGV) A little known and photographed Motorail service that operated in the summer months was the 1V81 10.30 (or thereabouts) York to Newton Abbot. In this photograph, kindly donated to me by Graham, the train is seen sweeping around the curve at Hele and Bradninch. Unfortunately, the Motorail flats, that are at the rear of the train, cannot be seen. 46046 looks very smart having been released from Derby works less than a month previously having had its last classified repair and a re-paint. It would stay in service for another four years being one of the last of the class to be withdrawn in May 1984. Keywords: 46046 10.30 York-Newton Abbot Motorail 1V81 Hele & Bradninch Peak Motorail
