Roger Winnens Day out                             21st August 2014

21/8/2014

 
Setting out from Penzance with a 'Ride Cornwall' ticket Roger spent the day catching those 'unusual views' for us to share.

First was a rare view of the Thursday Class 66 visiting the sidings at Par harbour. The view from five arches bridge is a coup indeed. Due to the high fencing recently installed in this area views at ground level are impossible. Copyright Roger Winnen

At Bodmin Parkway, a picture which could almost have been in early 60's except for the orange jacket and mark three coaches. Here the DMU from 'Padstow' brings in passengers for an up service - if only!!! 21st August 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

Just to the west of Plymouth is a mileage change post. Originally as all trains in Cornwall had to come via Millbay the mileages in Cornwall refer to that now impossible journey. Something few people would think to photograph but thank heaven Roger did before everything goes metric. 21st August 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

Plymouth Power Signalling Box - due to be superseded in 2022. Seen on 21st August 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

St Erth footbridge, the subject of much controversy has received replacement wooden steps. A pity that the fixing bolts have protruded through the metal panels. 21st August 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen
