Last Day Ticket, Helston Branch
Alan Harris

Hello Keith, Attached are photos of the front and the back of a ticket, which I recently purchased from a well known web auction house, of Truthall Bridge Halt. The ticket is dated 03 NOV 62 and appears to me to me to be unusual having the word Bridge printed on it and that the ticket is whole so appears to be unused or, at least, uncollected at either end. Wikipedia informs me that sometimes tickets were printed in this manner.  All the Best, Alan.  
Many thanks Alan - anybody any comments on the additional word 'Bridge' in the title?  This of course a last day ticket especially valuable.

From the Alan Harris Collection. 3rd class had surely been dispensed with long before 1962?

From the Alan Harris collection. One wonders what might have happened had one tried to return on the 2nd February 1963 - the ticket would still have been valid!!

Out of the mists at Cranbrook   David Tozer

Hi Keith,  I popped out to Cranbrook to video the NMT HST return from Exeter to Weymouth via Honiton, Yeovil Junction, Yeovil Pen Mill and Castle Cary to Westbury, then back to Yeovil and on to Weymouth.

Double Rainbow at Par  
​from Craig Munday

On a bright note, the torrential rain gave way to some sun and a lovely double rainbow at Par today. 66012 pauses St Blazey bound with 6C53 and passes a Colas Tamper stabled in the Liner Siding.  Many thanks for such a cheerful picture.
