As our viewers will be aware it is now Rail Head Treatment Train RHTT season. This morning Roger Winnen's HST had great trouble getting away from Camborne. Perhaps the train below, which is based at Didcot hadn't made it this far!!!!!!!! Thanks Martin
Hi Keith/Roger, All I can offer is a couple of more shots from the Looe branch,taken at Terras crossing on Oct 7th I went back again as the forecast High tide was the second highest of the year and the cold front light was pretty spectacular Neeedless to say I have never seen so much water in the river,the road at Terras crossing was cut off!!! Cheers Ron Many thanks Ron Gentlemen, A couple of photographs taken today at Exmouth. The new station opened in 1976 utilises one of the old platforms.
150102 with the 1123 from Paignton. and 150216 arriving with the 1143 from Barnstaple. Of interest no work was going on at the site of the new Newcourt Station. Somehow I do not think it will be open for the new December timetable. Regards Dave Many thanks David Yes, various additional views on the Lydford to Launceston look at the section on the GWR line from Plymouth to Launceston.
Hi Keith This machine arrived this morning at Truro yard at 02.16am 92 minutes late from Tavistock Junction, photographed at around 10am.

This is Exeter SD departure screens just after 05.00 today. 1A40 Night Riviera up sleeper late start Penzance after late inward HST last night. The 14.30 Paddington - Penzance failed between Par and St Austell and was assisted by the HST behind it. The combination reached St Austell after midnight. Suffice to say that with the difficulties at Slough yesterday, this compounded matters in the far west last evening.
