D1054 'Western Governor' working the 0700 Bradford to Penzance service opens up after crossing Moorswater Viaduct, Liskeard, in September 1973. The Western came on at Plymouth. There was always a loco change in those days on this train. A Holbeck Peak was the normal power from Leeds to Plymouth. The loco had just had a repaint at Plymouth Laira depot and would remain in service until November 1976. This footbridge was a great place to watch the trains. It was busy on summer Saturdays with plenty of Westerns in 1973.
