XP Summer Special
Editor Ken Mumford
Friends of the AERON VALLEY RAILWAY SOCIETY,
Here is an extra SUMMER SPECIAL issue for you to read. The AVRS Committee trust that you will find something in it to read and which might cause you to respond to the next 'normal' issue [due out towards the end of August/beginning of September subject to any unforseen commitments by your Editor] and a contribution maybe - hint! Your Editor has been working on it as our good friend (David Patten of RAILTALK) sent THE AERONIAN XP SUMMER SPECIAL on which he has worked his 'magic' and to whom the AVRS are extremely grateful for his work.
Below is a note [from David Patten] on the locos that are shown in THE AERONIAN XP SUMMER SPECIAL as at LONG MARSTON.
Kind regards, Ken - your AVRS Editor

Good morning Keith and Valerie,
Your 'plug' [thankfully not a bathroom one!] is very much appreciated. A very good time and effort work by your good self. It is hoped that anyone who enjoys THE AERONIAN XP SUMMER SPECIAL will want to have their own personal copy - this can be arranged via our Chairman, Terry Davis.
Thank you, again, Keith.
Trerulefoot station
Colin Burges
Your coverage of Trerulefoot omits mention of its suitability as a "park and ride" station within the Plymouth "travel to work" area. This old newspaper piece talks of it and has it on an aspirational map.

It could have been the counterpart of Devon's Ivybridge. It is often said that the failure of this B.R.-era venture to live up to its full potential - a "park and ride" for the South Hams - dampened any further development of plans for new stations and the recreation of the old "Plymouth Suburban."
Cheers, Colin

Are you sure that there would be no interest in a C.R.S. cycling group?
Cheers, Colin
