This is an extra onboard journey video filmed on my way back from London to Devon having stayed in London for 2 days although having filming in South Wales the day before.
Onboard a 9 car Class 802 IET on the 1103 service from London Paddington to Penzance covering the Journey as far as Exeter St Davids.
The route between London Paddington and the 1st stop at Reading our train travels over the Great Western Main Line built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
At Reading departing Platform 7 our train diverges away onto the Reading to Basingstoke Line through Reading West before diverging onto the Berks and Hants Line eventhough the route doesn’t go into Hampshire itself.
After Newbury the overhead wires end and the trains continue on biomode all the way to Penzance.
Our train passes the junction for stopping services into Westbury where services interchange from those from Swindon, Gloucester, Weymouth as well Salisbury.
After Westbury the services for Weymouth join the route through Bruton as far as Castle Cary which then they diverge towards Yeovil Pen Mill.
Before Taunton our route joins with the original route of the Bristol to Exeter Line from Bristol to Exeter served by CrossCountry Trains and GWR services from Cardiff Central and London Paddington via Bristol Temple Meads
At Cowley Bridge Junction our route joins up with the Tarka Line from Barnstaple before the approach to Exeter St Davids.
Our train instead of stopping on Platform 4 as most long distance services use instead is routed into Platform 3. After leaving the train it will continue on the rest of it's journey along the Riviera Line to Newton Abbot then the South Devon Line to Plymouth and then the Cornish Main Line from there all the way to Penzance.
