A ‘Britannia’ Pacific No.70019 ‘Lightning’ is almost at the summit of Dainton Bank in Devon with an express for London, Paddington during the mid-1950s. Dainton was one of the notorious ‘Devon banks’ that plagued the Great Western main line between Newton Abbot and Plymouth. Not only were the gradients severe but frequent twists and turns contrived to make for operational difficulties particularly in adverse weather conditions.
