   Rostered to be steam hauled by 34028 ‘Eddystone’ beyond Taunton Fairwater Yard as per GB XVIII outline timings booklet, with water stops at Magor and Hereford. Exact nature of working between Penzance and Taunton Fairwater Yard not clear in GB XVIII outline timings booklet, with only a two minute operational stop at Plymouth on the run up to Taunton (10 minute stop to reverse) and a subsequent in service shunt move into Taunton Fairwater Yard itself before proceeding onwards to Chester

      Following discussion with Bill Montieth, 34028 ‘Eddystone’ will be leading all the way from Penzance, with an untimed water stop at Plymouth being accommodated for with a relaxed timing schedule between Penzance and Plymouth. Also been confirmed there will be a water stop at Chirk too
