Pinhoe Developments
David Tozer

​1)    159005 arrives with the 1105 1Z85 Salisbury to Exeter (St David's)

2)  159103 was on the rear of the 1105 from Salisbury. Such is the disgraceful Covid timetable the train is booked to stop here from 1304 to 1315. Earlier the same service was booked to stop at Yeovil Junction from 1155 to 1209. How to drive passengers away.

3)   159012 heads away with the 1256 Exeter (St David's) to Salisbury. Quite a few passengers got off here.

4)  Pinhoe Coal Yard. With the coal sidings long gone the area was scheduled for work to start here on 4th January. Todate nothing has happened. It is to become a car park with room for a bus parking area and bus services will operate from here to Exeter (Airport). Quite why all this work is needed when you have a bus layby at Cranbrook (this is near Exeter Airport) which is only used when rail replacement services are in operation is bewildering.

Junction Jaunt
Peter Murnaghan

A very important point which was missed out in our presentation of Peter's work on the Junction Jaunt was the promotion in the 'national lowest use station stakes' of Coombe Junction up to the 18th lowest in the country. The table below shows the current statistics for the Looe branch.
The whole story is carried in item 2209 in Features January to June 22.  (You will need to Scroll down to find it)  Peter and Brian did a grand job there congratulations.

Many thanks to Peter and Lyn for a most interesting item.
