A look around Redruth station in 1993
                                            Mike Roach

Hello Keith,  Please find attached 6 pictures of Redruth Station taken on 13 February 1993; including 2 of the outside of the station. Whats interesting is the sign for Red Star Parcels. Started in 1963 Red Star was still functioning  at the time of the photograph but seems to have fizzled out at the end of the 1990s.  Regards  Mike   Many thanks Mike

Redruth That first tunnel on the way to London. The down building looking in need of care and attention since re-furbished. Copyright Mike Roach 13th February 1993

The footbridge since taken away and refurbished - put back later as good as new. A Hopper Bus waits outside. 13th February 1993 Copyright Mike Roach

A down service runs in, even in 1993 these sleek trains were so common as not to attract much interest. 13th February 1993 Copyright Mike Roach
Picture
13th February 1993. Farewells at Redruth are rapid affairs as the tunnel closes the view. Here, perhaps Mum and Dad see off relatives. The down building looks quite shabby. Copyright Mike Roach
Picture
Outside on the up side the interchange area with bus lay by's was yet to be established. The Red Star sign is prominent. 13th February 1993 Copyright Mike Roach
Picture
Finally , a view up the road. Note the parcels trolley tucked away alongside the building - its also the days before the parking ticket machine. 13th February 1993 Copyright Mike Roach
