Craig abandons the garden
Craig Munday
Hi Keith
Between gardening duties I was hoping to pop out to see 43002 & the first Cross Country HST from Newquay at Lostwithiel. Both services just 25 mins apart.
I was scuppered for 1S59 from Newquay due to a brake fault on the way down to Newquay near Tregoss, which saw the passengers evacuated and the set returned empty to Laira. On a happier note, 43002 did bring up the rear of 1A87 as advertised near 13.00. The overhead sun catching the blue & yellow rather nicely, and bringing back memories of the HSTs in blue & grey. The castle in sunlight eluded me sadly, there were few clouds about - but you can rely on one to blot out the landscape. The town was busy celebrating Lostfest.
All the best. Craig
                                              Many thanks, a very nice angle for your shot.

Featuring Cranmore
Roger Aston

Many thanks for Roger Aston for sending us pictures of yesterdays activity on the East Somerset Railway at Cranmore.  One hopes that before too long we will see that short section of the former Witham to Yatton line extended to a new station at Shepton Mallet.
