Hayle developments
Dennis Clarke

I took a couple of photos this morning 13th September 2022 at Hayle Viaduct. 43154 and 43158 crossing the viaduct working 2C07 06:50 Bristol Temple Meads to Penzance. 43094 and 43009 working 2U20 10:50 Penzance to Cardiff Central. This photo shows that the new housing development at Foundry is coming to a conclusion, unfortunately blocking what was a great view of the viaduct, Regards, Dennis

Bath Green Park
Paul Negus

Please find attached a couple of shots of the scaffolding going up inside the roof of Bath Green Park station today 13th September 2022. The closer photograph shows the "towers" being constructed along the length of the glazed canopy. There has been significant deterioration in the glazing and glazing bars over recent years and a comprehensive reworking of the roof is envisaged. The work is covered under planning application 22/01746/LBA on the Bath & North East Somerset Council website for anyone seeking a detailed explanation of the new glazing system - see page 3 under tab Plans and Documents.

Kind regards
Paul Negus

Many thanks Paul - please keep us posted of any further developments.

Babbacombe Cliff Railway

Many thanks for putting my Seaton Tramway photos on the CRS website + the extra information you suppluied and the gardener - that made a good start to my day - thank you.

Tricia and I did visit the Babacombe Cliff Railway but for several days ti wasn't operating because of the to the passing of one of its engineers - indeed it featured on the South West local BBC news two nights running. Just in case I've attached the photos of that railway which I was able to take. Not easy photos to take!.
