Castle to Newquay

Hi Keith and Roger,
Owing to a fault with the class 150 unit today, GWR sent a Castle HST set consisting of 43189 and 43186 to cover two trips from par to Newquay and back.
I saw the second working at Luxuylan, this being the 13:10 Par to Newquay 2N06 service, with 43189 ‘Launceston Castle’ leading.
A couple of photos attached from a very grey and windy 10 minutes at the station. One shows the side of one of the coaches, which has clearly been brushing the lineside growth along the branch!
All the best, Jon
