Visiting West Country class pacific 34007 Wadebridge saw its 2008 debut on the GWR on Monday 5th May, when it attracted a lot of attention from visitors.  It was working alongside 9F 2-10-0 no. 92203, bringing back recollections of the lamented Somerset & Dorset Railway: both engines were performers over this attractive and challenging line between Bournemouth and Bath.
