Roger Aston asks
Does anyone know please.

We are going to London on sleeper on Tuesday 14th December. I was surprised to see that the sleeper is starting in Truro with ECS coming from Laira due to Track closure between Truro and Penzance 14th -17th December. Do not know what is planned.
Best regards, Roger 
Looks interesting - does anybody know please.

Bitton

This morning we paid a short visit to the Avon Valley Railway preservation site at Bitton station on the former LMS line from Bristol via Mangotsfield to Bath (Green Park).   A small number of ex BR diesels are present including three shunters, 07010, 08202 and 09015, two class 31s 31101 and 31130 and a 2 car class 107 DMU SC52006 & SC52025.  No trains were operating but we spent an enjoyable couple of hours drinking tea, eating cake and chatting with some of the friendly volunteers in the excellent  (warm!) cafe / museum, currently this is open daily and I can thoroughly recommend a visit.  

Best regards,Guy and Cathy Vincent
