Hello Roger, I hope you are still well and I was Interested to see you had made it to Hayle,though not by train!
From Monday we have a train service, hourly, instead of the ‘bus replacement so a small step back to normality.
I send a picture of 47489 leaving Penzance on 10 September 1987 with the 10.27 to Edinburgh,’The Cornish Scot’ on a sunny and warm day.
Thanks and best wishes. Copyright Michael Forward
Many Thanks Michael

Not just the weedkiller!

Ken writes - Friends,
I did see if I could take photos at the station but the two members of staff were extremely good even though Train-spotting as they said was not an exercise (unless I walked up an down the platform!).  They suggested that I tried the Town side of platform 4 but the fence was too high!  So, I tried Marston Footbridge and I was surprised when nobody was on the footbridge, so I made my way to the top of the footbridge and I had it ALL TO MYSELF until I left about two hours later!

Nr. Wrangaton
Clive Smith

This is Cheston Bridge on Primrose Lane just east of Wrangaton looking towards South Brent where lineside vegetation was cut back in early 2019.  I came here the previous day at 19.15 in hope to photo the class 66 top n tail weedkiller train that has been operating in the area, but the low sun and large trees created too much shadow so I thought a mid-afternoon visit would produce a good photo. The train is the 1V50 06.06 Edinburgh - Plymouth with 43207 leading and 43321 on the rear. The hill in the background is the 1020 feet high Brent Hill.

Regards,  Clive Smith
