BR 33048 and 56119 await departure time at Minehead on 07/12/2001.

Pathfinder Tours ran a number of grid tours at the end of 2001, so many that I actually got 3 required ones in 9 days (spawny I know)! One of the most awkward to get at as it was on a weekday took 56119 to Minehead on the "Dunster by Candlelight" tour, and the WSR offered 33048 as a pilot for the return journey to Bishops Lydeard. Pathfinder agreed and a very loud return to Bishops Lydeard followed

As well as the "Pathfinder Tours" headboard, you may also notice "The Stafford Arms on Tour" headboard, this has been made for the pub (just outside Stafford station if you don't already know) to publicise its bid to raise money for wild tiger care. So if you're in Stafford drop into the pub and give them some support, and if you drink too much they have rooms as well.
