You are invited to a ‘meet the author’ event on Saturday 21st October at 14.30 at Marsh Mills Station on the Plym Valley Railway (adjacent to the Coypool Park & Ride where parking is available). This is an appropriate location as the PVR have rolling stock and locomotives from sites in and around Plymouth.
Pauls new book on Plymouth's Hidden Railways is now available and can be purchased either from Paul in person - a signed copy - at the event detailed above or by post details as per the link below.

I have myself purchased an advance copy of this excellent book full of details of the once extensive network of lines, standard and narrow gauge, in the Plymouth area and can highly recommend it. KJ

Public transport is available to the Marsh Mills City Bus Yellow Flash Service 51 to Derriford Hospital stops at Plymouth Railway Station Bus Stop on the main road at 10 25 40 and 55 minutes past the hour. Alight at the bus stop near the Plymouth & Dartmoor Railway Iron Bridge at Marsh Mills, walk across this bridge and follow the path which will take you direct to Marsh Mills Station. On the return journey you will need to be on the main road itself, passing the old Marsh Mills Station and continuing under the main road where a left turn will lead up a ramp to the bus stop. A frequent service of buses into Plymouth calls at this stop.

Its June 1971. The rationalisation of Truro Yard is in progress. We move further north across the black footbridge and can see where the depot once was. Note the lack of vegetation on the cutting banks. Also note the lack of traffic on the road. Copyright Roger Winnen. An excellent picture from an instamatic camera costing £3. 3s
