Hurrah, we're off! Now moving off the spur and joining the line from Salisbury, our HST journey affords us a splendid head-on westward view of Yeovil Junction, with all major infrastructure - bar the signal box - on view.

By the time of departure, No. 159008 had uncoupled from No. 159007 and made its way to the former ''down'' through line, where it joined to a third Class 159 which had recently arrived from the Exeter direction. © David Glasspool
