Chris Bellett
Hi Keith/Roger,
Hope all is well I have not been in touch for a while but here are some photos taken at Bodmin General yesterday, 31st March 2023, whilst I was acting signalman. It was a Photo Charter day so no public service but lots of shunting to allow people to take photographs.
 
Kind Regards,
Chris Bellett

Gents,
A quick visit to Rewe to photo the back to back power car move from Plymouth Laira to Leeds Neville Hill. Sadly they were turned back at Exeter St David's. Thus my only photograph is of 221126 and 221137 with the 0725 Plymouth to Edinburgh passing the flooded fields at Rewe.

Also of it's demolition a few months later.
Hope it is of interest

Strike day visit
Laira Depot
Craig Munday

Following a visit to Lipson on 18th March for a structures problem, I took a walk around GWR Laira depot (with authority to share the pictures). These images were taken on a day of industrial action so the depot was full of modern traction. The views were very reminiscent of the open day at Old Oak Common a few years back. The traction line up at Laira didn't stir the blood quite like the fantastic line up in London though!
