I travelled today from Luxulyan to Newquay in pretty foul weather. The class 150 was pictured on the 12.22 service.

Many thanks for your contribution, James. Amongst the excitement of the engineers trains and mainline variety we've had over the last couple of days, it's been easy to forget about the branch lines still plodding away.

Dear The Cornwall Railway Society,
I am a regular reader of your website and have been enjoying the detailed news on the Truro re-signalling programme, especially the contributions from Alan Peters and Martin Duff.
As we live next to the railway, we were able to see the 13:00 down movement, and the 16:20 up movement. Please find attached the photos from the day.
Yours sincerely Joe Birchall
