The Northern Belle runs Swansea to Paignton return Roger Winnen Around Plymouth Craig Munday Some time spent over the border in Devon recently. Firstly at the Ground Frame at Keyham for the colourful DBC/ DRS class 66 combo on 1st September, then on the 4th, the equally colourful Loram class 20 visit to the city. 20142 leads 20007 away from the former parcel docks bound for Derby. The Loram crew advise this will be the last visit (for now) of the locomotives to Plymouth. Also pictured on 4th is the NHS thanks liveried 802020 in the station. Kind regards Craig Please see an account of the above visit by 66122 & 66425 by Roger Winnen in the 'News' dated 1st September 2020 Many thanks Craig a most interesting selection. Whoops Stephen Widdowson For further information on this accident which occurred at Newton Abbot please click here https://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/eventsummary.php?eventID=8964 With many thanks to Steve Widdowson. Ruthern Bridge Branch Andrew and Diane Jones Andrew and Diane ave written a most interesting and detailed history of this short branch line, To see this please click here and scroll to Item 2020. Unfortunately Cormac when resurfacing the Camel Trail earlier in the year damaged the original Ruthernbridge Railway bridge and access to Grogley Halt is now restricted to pedestrian traffic only. It was found that the original decking was not up to 20 ton lorries crossing so we await funding for repairs. Many thanks to Diane and Andrew.
