The Mazey Day Cornishman to Penzance on Saturday 24th June 2017
 
The downward Cornishman passed Plymouth Station at 13.38 148 mins late. It was  behind 66525 and 37059. Arrived at Penzance 15.28 145 mins late.

She'd got off to a bad start leaving Worcester Shrub Hill at 06.53 late by 73 mins and at one point passing Teignmouth 167 mins late.
To give the passengers at least some time at Penzance the  departure time of the Cornishman from Penzance was revised to 17.00.

Actual departure time was 17.20, late by 73 mins from the original departure time of 16.07  
It passed through Redruth at 17.44

Colourful Cranmore
John Cornelius
Hi Keith, Here are a few pics I took at Cranmore on the East Somerset Rly today with the relaunch to service following overhaul of 2-6-2 41313. It looked immaculate. Also  2-6-0 46447 was in steam to accompany it and during the day they single headed and double headed trains, with the last one of the day being top and tailed. A goodly number of enthusiasts attended despite the Glastonbury pop festival taking place about five miles away and we could hear the music at Worthy thumping away. But our interest was definitely with the locos!!
A very enjoyable day.  cheers  JOHN C.
                         Many thanks John for sharing your pictures
