The set is shown leaving Worle at 0851 for Taunton on 7 July 2019. Worle Parkway (as it is promoted locally) is a typical modern station with little character to interest the enthusiast I'm afraid! (I much prefer my previous commuter station of Yatton). Of note though is the recent addition of "Zone" markings which combine with the train information system to give travellers an idea of where the first class, cycle, etc, areas are located on the incoming train.

Auto coach returns to
Bodmin

The Bodmin & Wenford auto-coach, which has been on loan to the South Devon Railway, returned to Bodmin on 7 August having been re-painted in chocolate and cream livery. The photo shows it about to be unloaded on to B&W metals.
            Kind regards,  Derek.  
Many thanks for your picture Derek.

Redruth
Peter Jenkin

An old hut, which has stood for countless years outside Redruth station has suddenly vanished.  The huts purpose in life has been a parcel office and porters room for Redruth Railway Station prior to the station upgrade in 1933. When they relocated across the road into the new station building thia hut became a resting place for the bus drivers of yore. However it has been a disgrace to the town as it stood, I was hoping for restoration but it was not to be.
