    D1015Western Champion on The Golden Hind rail tour on Saturday 23rd May 2026. Filmed at Powderham, Hemerdon and Newton Abbot. Unfortunately I had a few sound issues, hopefully not too noticeable.

    Vintage trains ran the Golden Hind on the 23rd May from Birmingham Snow Hill to Plymouth and return with D1015 Western Champion as motive power. I saw the London Paddington tp Plymouth leg of the journey at Rewe on the outward and return..

    I have now had timings and seat confirmation come through for Saturday's 'Whistling Ghost' to Minehead.

    I was fully expecting, given the weather, to have received notification that it would be diesel-hauled due to fire risk, but no mention as yet, so fingers crossed. I do fully expect some diesel assistance regardless. Let's hope there's a little bit of rain by then to damp things down.

    VT commented on their Facebook post earlier today that they expect 5043 to be hauling the trip.

    It is red fire risk and expected to remain so through to the weekend.
