Hi Keith & Roger,
Hope you’re both well?
Here are a couple of photos from my wild Friday night out in Liskeard!
I heard that there was another Crosscountry HST due down today due to engineering works in the North. As I’d already photographed one last week at St. Austell, I thought I’d try Liskeard this time around and see if I could include a semaphore in a shot for a bit of extra interest.
The train was a little late having terminated at St. Erth instead of Penzance (apparently to the immense disappointment to some enthusiasts onboard who’d been trying to ride it all the way to ‘the blocks’!) but it was a pleasant wait on a nice still evening, listening to the bells ringing in the box as the train made its way up from the west.
News surfaced last week which suggests that crosscountry will not be running their HST’s into 2024, and with them being rare into Cornwall as it is, I didwonder if this is the last time 43301 will be controlled by a Cornish semaphore.
All the best, Jon Hird
