A superb view with lots of interesting stuff, not least the Threlfalls brewery building which is now a listed building. The Black 5 was the unlucky one of those on the 15 Guinea Special, being scrapped after "starring" in the "Virgin Soldiers" film. No less than twenty railwaymen are involved in the track maintenance operation, although typically less than half seem to actually be working - and not a hi-viz vest in sight!
