It could be chaos at
​Long Rock this Summer!
Roger Salter
Signs erected at Long Rock level crossing that will seriously effect taking photos especially parking for the Depot Open Day on 13th April 2019
Cornwall Council, in their wisdom, have decided to do the work in the summer months!!. All being part of the Long Rock improvement work funded by the European Union Development Fund.

Approaching Aller
Clive Smith

With a wave from the driver the 09.19 Plymouth - Paddington diverted via Yeovil approaches Aller on a lovely Sunday morning 24th February 2019. Just 15 minutes earlier these fields were covered in a superb sunlit ground mist. Sadly the sun burnt it off. Would have been up there in my top pics.  Regards  Clive Smith  
       
Not a 'mist opportunity' but still a smashing picture, thanks Clive.
