WJO Jennings Bedford YMT with Plaxton body CRL 918V seen in the station yard at Halwill Junction Station whilst operating the 629 Bude - Okehamton - Exeter rail replacement service - introduced after the closure of the former Southern Railway service between Exeter and Bude. The coaches always left the main road and travelled the few yards into the station yard before turning and heading off again. Unfortunately with that Pentax Auto 110 SLR - August 10, 1980.
