Description Another of Laira's class 46s, 46004, awaits the 'off' at Penzance in the far west on MayΒ 22, 1976, probably with a Birmingham train. Unusually, the weather is dull, whereas the Penzance microclimate is often bright and sunny when the rest of the peninsula has poor weather.

Yes and never looked quite right as 0O00 did it?

Well I guess so mate! Then the marker lights that made the front of the Peak look so boring!

Sorry, perhaps I've done too many! I've been digging into my 'oldies' box!

I went to Penzance in May. Boring, there was only a class 150 DMU not even an HST.Β

And there used to be a daily HST from Glasgow Queen Street to Penzance too. (via Waverley, Newcastle upon Tyne and Birmingham).
