​On the Night Riviera
Andrew Triggs
Hello Roger/Keith,
Hope you are both keeping well in these challenging times, no chances of taking any of the current scene it seems. Anyway, been raiding the archives here, 4 shots of Virgin Thunderbird 57310 'Kyrano' on the 'Night Riviera' at Penzance back on 10.7.2009 for CRS, I'll endeavour to 'chip in' with others in between work! 
All the Best to all our CRS Members, hopefully safe and well
Andrew

Goss Moor
Steve Widdowson
With Steve we continue to follow the Newquay branch - this time in the Goss Moor area - we are on a bridge between Roche and the infamous 'Black bridge' which has decapitated several high vehicles over the years.

142027 continues over the ;Black Bridge' which crossed the former A30 which in this picture is carrying fairly heavy traffic. In high summer this was 'nose to tail'. 5th Sept 1987 Steve Widdowson
Many thanks Steve, tomorrow we continue to Newquay.

Letter received 4th April 2020
Hi Keith,   
I do hope you and all your family & everyone at CRS are keeping well during this awful pandemic, what a nightmare it is.


Its been a while since I've sent you any photos so I hope you'll be able to use these three shots on the website. I took them at Cardiff General, as it was then, during the Easter Bank holidays April 1962.

Best regards to everyone and keep safe, Thanks Adrian and keep safe yourself. .

1. The first shot shows No. 5073 Blenheim on the left at Platform 2 about to come off its train having just arrived from west Wales while the replacement locomotive an unidentified Castle stands patiently alongside. Copyright Adrian King.
Picture
2. The second photo has No. 4912 Berrington Hall (which unfortunately had barely four months left in service) about to depart, next stop Newport. Copyright Adrian King.
Picture
3. Again at Platform 2 an unidentified Hall waits for the off with a service heading eastwards. Just visible in front of the locomotive is the Central Hotel a landmark of the station for many years.. Copyright Adrian King.
Many thanks Adrian and best wishes to you.

Phil Smith asks if anybody knows the number of the HST being stripped down and repainted at the same time as 47 656 was on shed. A difficult one, but perhaps somebody knows? Thanks Phil.
