Some years later enthusiasts on a minibus trip reminisce and wait in vain for a train. Another former chairman, Gordon Dobbs stands by the shelter. The boy is Kevin Jenkin, mentioned above.

Christmas Greetings from afar.
Thank you Keith and whomever else for another year of Cornish railways happenings!   Surely one of the most interesting railway websites around and I’ve especially appreciated all the articles from our contributors and especially the accomplished photographers to remind me of Cornwall and its trains.
