50044, 17.52 London Paddington-Westbury (1K68), nr. Pewsey Taken from the leading droplight of the stock 50044 'Exeter' shatters the Wiltshire peace as it accelerates away from its stop at Pewsey. Our photography group had enjoyed a great day in London at the Photoworld show and an equally enjoyable (well for me the railway enthusiast at least!) journey back on the 1K68 17.52 Paddington to Westbury evening commuter service. I have it in my notes that the driver of the Class 50 was utilising as much of the 2,700 hp as he could really giving it some beans between the frequent stops that this service makes. It has to be remembered that this train was pathed between a number of much faster and non-stopping HSTs so there really was no time to dawdle with no facility to pass trains from Newbury to Westbury but for a loop at Woodborough.
