Thanks for putting my last picture on the site. Some while ago there were some interesting pictures from Radley in steam days.I thought it would be of interest to show some more recent views and here is the first one 0f 58016 ,with empty coal hoppers returning from Didcot power station—seen in the distance.This is no more and coal is now being demonised,how things have changed since 1990.

Great News for 
Okehampton
David Tozer
Good Morning all, Good news. Today is the official launch of work on the Okehampton branch. The line now has a website:- https://dartmoorline.com/ Somewhat ironic that some 29000 tons of ballast will be moved to the line when at the end of the line is mothballed Meldon Quarry. Dave
Thank you for advising us David - it is strongly advised that you click on the link above.

​A nice night view of the illuminated main train shed at Bristol Temple Meads which is currently closed while scaffolding is erected inside as part of the roof refurbishment project.  The traffic barriers placed across the running lines look bizarre to say the least!

Cheers for now , Guy Vincent.

Trewerry Query

Dear Keith
 
Good afternoon, I was given your contact details by Paul Maynard at Cormac. I am doing an archaeological and historic impact assessment of proposed works incorporating the former railway line between Benny Bridge and Trewerry and I wondered if you would have any information and images of this section of the line that may be helpful (and interesting) for my report.
 
I was out visiting the site yesterday and aside from the obvious surviving bridges I could see that traces of walling still survive alongside the former track leading to Trewerry Halt and also part of the level crossing on the opposite side of the road. Any images to help make sense of what was there previously would be enormously helpful.
 
I look forward to hearing back from you – and if you are able to send me anything please let me know if it would be okay to use any of it in my report and how you would like anything referenced.
 
Kind regards
Fiona
