In a sorry external condition, 'Warship' Class diesel hydraulic No. 825 'Intrepid' stands at Exeter St Davids on 22nd June 1971 having arrived with the 13.10 service from London Waterloo. New to Laira (83D) from Swindon Works in August 1960, it had one reprieve when it was withdrawn in January 1972 but re-instated 4 months later, in May 1972. Final withdrawl came in August 1972, just one day short of 12 years of service, and it was cut up back at Swindon Works during October of that year.
