Back in 1990 I was photographing Hoovers on the Waterloo-Exeter route. Situated myself in the field by the bridge east of Whitchurch station awaiting the 07-52 stopper from Waterloo to Salisbury expecting a good shot of 50003 "Temeraire" as she coasted into the station....only it wasn't a sedate arrival! Whoosh, under the bridge and sudden realisation by the driver of his surroundings on went the anchors. Nearly got the last coach within station limits, but gingerly reversed into the station. With one train every hour it wasn't a problem.
