57602 Restormel Castle passing Exminster at 17.56 on the 21st July 2018 Copyright David Tozer. David reported that this train was terminated at Newton Abbot. Further investigation shows that the train continued as empty stock right through to Penzance. Real time trains reports that there was train fault. Roger Winnen saw the train at Bodmin Parkway where it passed through non-stop - the guard was seen at the window..

57602 Restormel Castle perfectly positioned. As Peter says Menheniot doesn't often feature in our pictures so here we are - The 1026 St Erth to Exeter St Davids at Menheniot 21st July 2018 Copyright Peter Murnaghan Note the original Carnwall Railways waiting room on the up side, a delightful feature. Cornwalls stations have had beautiful floral decorations this year and Menheniot is no exception. Congratulations to Peter for his photograph which thoughtfully includes the flowers the shelter and of course the train.

In this view we can see that the down platform provides no protection at all from the elements. There were once several sidings in the yard to the right. Copyright John Cornelius
