Despite being some two years away from its refurbishment 50026

'Indomitable' looks very smart in the late evening sun. It is leading a second up parcels working that I also have not been able to identify climbing Whiteball bank near to the village of Burlescombe. The colour light is Whiteball's distant signal and is electronic due to the considerable distance from the signal box. Notice in the consist behind the GUV is a Southern van of which many examples were still in everyday use at this time. Our campsite for the night was just adjacent to where I am standing behind a hedge that made for a disturbed night as various trains, including Sleeper services, passed!
