Hi Keith, Here are some pictures from St Blazey from 4th Dec 2015.
Middleway & St Blazey bridge CCTV level crossings are being renewed. The road closures are certainly not welcomed by the locals, but the equipment is due for replacement. Pedestrians may cross using the attendant contacting the Signalman at St Blazey box. Cars, however, have to use the other gated level crossing to reach Par, the one nearer Par Harbour.
Quite how the main A390 will cope with a similar road closure, goodness knows! The picture shows the unusual sight of the 14.06 to Newquay passing over the crossing with upside boom attached but in the raised position!
Later that evening, the RHTT was getting set to depart the yard with 66061 & 067. The 2015 programme almost at an end. All the best Craig. Many thanks Craig for both sets of pictures.
