Dear Keith, My wife and I had to attend an appointment at the West Cornwall Hospital today [27th November 2018] (we are so very lucky to still have this hospital and St Michaels), so I thought a trip to see the recent GWR train depot at Longrock was in order.
There is an excellent car park behind Morrisons supermarket , accessed over the adjacent level crossing, £1 all day!
Although somewhat overcast I have attached a few photographs.
Stabled in the depot was an HST with power cars 43190 and ‘Prince Michael of Kent 43165.
The depot pilot 08410 was stationed just outside the depot rear doors and passing by on the ex 09.55 from Bristol Temple Meads arriving on time at Penzance at 14.39 was 150249.
Best wishes Andrew Many thanks Andrew

Two pictures of Calstock Viaduct but taken at different times of the year. The first was taken in mid-winter on the 2nd January 1986. A service from Gunnislake crosses the viaduct on a rather dull grey day. The second picture was taken in mid-summer 1987 (date unspecified) . The trees are in full leaf now and the sun is shining .
