After a fairly long wait in Salisbury East Yard and after photographing more mundane trains (but some forty years later I am so glad that I did!) I was rewarded with my first London Waterloo train. The 1V09 09.10 Waterloo to Exeter St. David's approaches Salisbury through the East Yard with me positioning myself at the far eastern end led by 50035 'Ark Royal'. Either, I was overcome by the occasion or the locomotive or I was not ready for its arrival but the composition is very poor with my partly obliterating the fine up bracket signal and missing off the rear of the train!
