The placing of the buffet/restaurant car directly behind the locomotive would usually identify this service as one departing from Paignton with this example being no exception as it left the town a little earlier at 13.20. The 1A25 service to Paddington is seen passing Teignmouth's Shaldon bridge with 50027 'Lion' leading the train as it heads into the sea fog. Looking at the photograph in a little more detail appears to reveal no passengers sitting at the tables in the Mk. 1 coach at this side at least.
