Cockwood
Clive Smith

GWR 0-4-2T 1450 passes Cockwood Harbour on Easter Monday 13th April 1998 with an Exeter St Davids - Newton Abbot 'Dawlish Donkey' tour. This was the inaugural year of these tours and this was the final day of three days of shuttles over the holiday weekend. 

          Regards, Clive Smith          
Many thanks indeed Clive.

Westbury Report
​Day 6

​Westbury North Junction Renewals  Day 6  Friday 28th December 2018

Disappointingly dull weather conditions again today with most of the heavy work now completed.  A short stretch of the Up Reception line was the only track still needing to be replaced.
