I was once told that the BR▸ Totem sign was designed by a Swindon Apprentice who might not have been any older. Is this true?

Gerry Barney was 24 when he designed the double arrow - https://www.creativereview.co.uk/british-rail-logo/ - haven't been able to trace the totem origins |

Good idea as it is passing. You don't want the first returning passenger train to go sliding through Crediton, and not stopping until Newton St Cyres. |

Edit: There is a nice article on the reopening, safely behind a paywall in today's Sunday Times. Having read that 500 tickets have been sold for the inaugural service, I think I'll wait a little while before giving it a go. |

Presumably though the 2Kxx & 2Exx trains are those in passenger service while the 2Zxx services are driver training runs.

5Z02 is an empty stock additional service to provide 2Z71 which is an additional service that is already planned and shown in booking engines. The other 2Zxx services are potential additional passenger services that may run as required (I guess), but these are currently not shown in booking engines.  |

Strange to run an empty train to Okehampton to make up the additional 0830. Maybe if St David's is packed it will run passenger. What are the odds a turbo makes the first trip. There seems to be four down here at the moment Exmouth-Paignton.

It's booked for a Class 150. |
