NINETEEN SIXTY TWO – PART 97
Evening Trips August 1962
Michael L. Roach
The next evening, I visited the valley of the River Plym mentioned above for a walk up the valley from the Plym Bridge itself. Before starting the walk, I photographed the 5.40pm from Launceston to Plymouth arriving at Plym Bridge Platform – this was the last train of the day to stop here. There was another train half hour later which passed through non-stop; this was the 7.10pm auto from Tavistock South to Plymouth. However, I did not photograph it because being a Tuesday I probably had a young lady with me and she had to take precedence most of the time. This was a wonderful length of railway through the Plym Valley which has been featured many times in this series, and where I took dozens of railway photographs. When the line closed at the end of that year, I missed the trains and the opportunity to photograph steam in wonderful scenery. However, you can still enjoy the scenery because the line was converted into a cycling and walking trail.
