The Mazey Day Cornishman Departed Eastleigh at 05.27 this morning hauled by DB Schenker 66 070 heading for Mazey day in Penzance, it arrived at 12.09. I photographed it at Apex bridge, I noticed that the driver had an extra set of eye to act as lookout in the form of a gnome suitably dressed in a high visibility suit. The return leg departs on time from Penzance at 16.08

Hi Keith Please see the photos below of the buffer stops installed at Burnham-on-Sea to mark the end of the S&D branch, although the line did used to extend down onto the pier at one time. Cheers Rob Lindley
Many thanks Rob
Many thanks Rob
Almost the end of the line at Burnham, the line at one time used to extend out on to the pier. Copyright Robert Lindley
The buffers looking back towards Higbridge, Evercreech and of course the South Coast. Copyright Robert Lindley The plaques denote that it is item 1 on the Burnham Trail - they were probably installed earlier this year.
