Exeter St Davids
Ron Kosys

​It's the 26th August 1971 at Exeter St Davids as our very good friend Ron Kosys catches three abreast.  He says - D829 Magpie waits to head east to Waterloo, 1040 Western Queen waits to head west and 3808 waits to head – frankly I’ve absolutely no idea.  Many thanks Ron.

Saltash
Clive Smith

45123 The Lancashire Fusilier sweeps off the Royal Albert Bridge with the down 1V71 'Cornishman' 06.51 Bradford Exchange - Penzance on the 10th April 1982. This train had one month left before going over to HST. The station awning is still in situ but would not exist for much longer. Not sure when it came down but it was not there in February 1984. Saltash used to be a grand station with booking office, goods office and sidings and was one of the stations a young Bernard Mills started his railway career as a Plymouth area relief clerk in the early 1960s. The Tamar Suspension Bridge was opened in 1961 and tolls were announced as lasting for no more than ten years. Forty eight years from 1971 the 19th November  saw tolls go up from £1.50 to £2.00. 
Regards,  Clive Smith.  
Many thanks Clive for your old picture and very current commentary.
