Towards the end of 1991 the number of Class 50s in operation on the West of England line was dwindling fast, and so I often made visits to the route in less than ideal weather conditions. Such was the case on 5 October 1991, when I photographed 50029 Renown passing Stowell in appalling light with the 2V13 13:15 Waterloo to Exeter St Davis Network SouthEast service.
