A charming picture taken somewhere near Lifton. Does anyone recognise exactly where? The gentleman outside the thatched bungalow pauses to watch 5511 glide past with 2 coaches on the 6.20pm Plymouth to Launceston. The date was Saturday 20 May 1961. 5511 had been at Laira 3 years when it was withdrawn 6 months later, but this is the only picture Mike got of this particular loco. Copyright Mike Roach
Hi, I was perusing your wonderful site especially the Plymouth to Launceston line and noticed that you had one photo from near Plymouth and you were asking if anyone knew exactly where this was. Well its where the line went past Leat Cottage, Lifton just as it headed for Launceston from Lifton Station. Hope that helps. Regards Roger Pyke Many thanks Roger
