Hi Keith, I expect you've had lots of images from our corespondents regarding the failure of 1A76 this morning near Buckshead Tunnel, and subsequent drag back to Long Rock. I missed most of the action, but saw 57303 arrive back at Par to attach to the marooned down sleeper stock in the down platform.
I grabbed a quick one of the empty stock heading west near St Austell station, and then was at Long Rock in the afternoon with work to see resplendent 08641 in the sunshine. The errant 1A76 set and 57303 were side by side elsewhere in the depot. Cheers Craig Greatly indebted to you Craig.
