Hi keith, A few pics of our santa specials at Yeovil junction today. A very good number of visitors.
It was foggy early, but by the time the punters started to arrive it had cleared and we had mild sunny day. cheers JOHN C. Many thanks John

We have three people who take the part of santa on the various days, one may do the morning session and another in the afternoon, or as on sunday one did the whole day.As one of two assistant guards covering the brake van, I managed to slip off for a few lineside shots. For the past few years at my suggestion, we like to have santa ride on the first morning and afternoon trains meeting the visitors before he goes to the grotto.This goes down well with the youngsters and probably the parents as well, heres a couple of pics of santa on the train and one in the grotto. cheers JOHN C.

Snow at Crewkerne

One advantage of snow is that it emphasises the track layout. Note the double track main line arrangement through the station with vans both behind the down platform and in the goods yard. Copyright John Cornelius

Hi Keith,
I thought that you might like to see my picture of this Thursday's 1003 Moorswater - Aberthaw cement empties, hauled by 70805. My view is of the train waiting to receive the token at Coombe Junction Halt for the section up the incline to Liskeard station, with Moorswater viaduct in the background.
I enjoy the website - keep up the great work.
Best wishes, Peter Murnaghan, Liskeard
Many thanks Peter, and welcome as a new contributor
