Jamie Dyke visits
Newton Abbot

​Hi Keith, I am a recently new member of the CRS and I would like to share some photos that I took on Sunday 10th July at Newton Abbot. 1.) 46100 'Royal Scot' passes Newton Abbot with 'The Torbay Express' 9:15 Bristol Temple Meads to Kingswear. 2.) GBRF 66732 at Newton Abbot as backup for the 'Torbay Express'. This loco was hired by DB Cargo. Many Thanks Jamie Dyke                                     Many thanks to you as well Jamie

46100 'Royal Scot' passes Newton Abbot with 'The Torbay Express' 9:15 Bristol Temple Meads to Kingswear. A very nice shot, one can just glimpse the tail of the train as it passes the west end of Hackney Sidings, and note the line to Heathfield bearing away to the left. 10th July 2016 Copyright Jamie Dyke

Steam today, at Wick.

Hi Keith, here's a pic of 46115 passing Wick near Langport, with the trip to the WSRLY. It passed me at 12.30 about 20 min late  CHEERS  JOHN C.
Personally I didn't know there was another Wick - you learn something everyday!  Many thanks John.  However, look for Wick Manor, Langport on Google Earth and you'll find it some half a mile west of  Curry Rivel Jct.

Stations, bus.
Sid Sponheimer

As you will no doubt realised the CRS website is not really for buses, however, they do come into our field of interest at times - useful for conveying us on some of our outdoor events and often as rail replacement services.

Afternoon Keith,
I know the attached aren't of railways but of course there is a historical connection.
A commemorative run from Exeter Bus Station to Plymouth's Bretonside Bus Station took place this morning as both are due to close shortly. I haven't seen so many buses in Bretonside for many a year. The "bent" panoramic view was taken before everything arrived.
There were few WN & SN vehicles present.
Sid.                                                                                Many thanks Sid

A good time to remind you that on the Saturday 24th September the CRS will be paying a return visit to the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway for its 2016 Gala. Details on Outdoor Events.

John Cornelius
at Yeovil Junction

Good morning Keith, just to show their is more to railways then chasing around the countryside photographing trains. This is a pic taken yesterday by Brian Haig of me trimming our boundary hedge around the turntable at Yeovil junction, a job which I have been doing for several years, twice a year, to keep things tidy around the turntable.
Not been out with the camera lately, hope this will change shortly.
Been up the junction a bit lately and I will be there next Sunday doing guard duty on our train.  cheers JOHN C    Many thanks John

The face usually behind the camera in front of it for once - John Cornelius. Action man, somebody has to do the more mundane jobs, well done. Picture by Brian Haig.
