Well worth a visit if you have a couple of hours spare in Swindon, just over 10 minutes from the Swindon Railway Station turning right outside the station and signposted.

Please find attached a photo of the Looe branch, taken on a (for once!) glorious bank holiday Monday. The location is Plashford Bridge on 7th May, and 153 373 is captured running north away from the camera with the 1249 Looe - Liskeard, amongst some wonderful Spring foliage.

Clive writes :- 47438 and 50038 Formidable cross the Royal Albert Bridge on a glorious midsummer evening with the 18.15 Penzance to Bristol TM on the 14th June 1983. Probably not best to be pointing a camera westwards late evening but thankfully the low sunlight wonderfully illuminates the famous bridge and the train.
Regards, Clive Smith. A superb picture, many thanks.
