Steve writes :- Hi Keith, Came across the attachment plus a photo with the following caption on it.
There was another twist to the fate of the old Pullmans at Marazion near Penzance in 1990 . The 2nd owner who brought them since BR has given them up and tried to auction them in Febuary 90 in London but they did not meet the reserve. The coaches where then put up for sale for offers in excess of £300,000 and coming with planning consent for 12 bungalows.
They where still up for sale in September 90 when this photo was taken .
Steve Widdowson Many thanks for the recall.

They certainly looked grim then. However they are long gone and holiday bungalows grace the plot. Copyright Steve Widdowson

Ron stands on the down platform where he arrived to witness the proceedings, it's in the days while proceeded east of the station to cross from the down main to the up main line. Note the quite considerable collection of mail in sacks ready for loading. 22nd July 1971. Copyright Ron Kosys
A view from further west along the down platform as a member of staff walks back along the up platform to join other staff to assist loading mail bags, 22nd July 1971. Copyright Ron Kosys
55029 sets of towards Coleford Junction and Exeter as staff discuss the days events. Although one collection of mail sacks has gone one collection remains! One notes, to us (Westerners) , the rather strange two wheeled platform trolleys. 22nd July 1971. Copyright Ron Kosys
