66 070 on The Mazey Day Cornishman.
By Mick House

The Mazey Day Cornishman Departed Eastleigh at 05.27 this morning hauled by DB Schenker 66 070 heading for Mazey day in Penzance, it arrived at 12.09. I photographed it at Apex bridge, I noticed that the driver had an extra set of eye to act as lookout in the form of a gnome suitably dressed in a high visibility suit. The return leg departs on time from Penzance at 16.08

Buffers at Burnham
Robert Lindley
Hi Keith Please see the photos below of the buffer stops installed at Burnham-on-Sea to mark the end of the S&D branch, although the line did used to extend down onto the pier at one time. Cheers Rob Lindley
                                                                               Many thanks Rob
