Many thanks Roger.
Sometimes you strike it lucky with the sun, sometimes you don't. However Roger Geach has been very lucky here judging by the blackness beyond 1023 Western Fusilier it heads east with the 6a21 St Erth to Acton milk on the 1st June 1976 Copyright Roger Geach

While we waited on platform 4 at Plymouth station for our train home on Saturday Roger Winnen dashed over to platform 5 to photograph the incoming loco hauled working, and while waiting, displayed for our benefit and that of viewers on platform 7 his dancing skills!!
You may remove this one if you wish Roger.

After that long walk he still has energy left! Roger Salter's picture of Roger Winnen as he celebrates a grand day out.
P.S. My name is Harry Worth without the shop window!

Afternoon Keith,
With reference to the query posed by Michael Forward on the 2nd June concerning the ex WN Bristol bus parked next to Padstow Station as a restroom for bus staff terminating there, this bus was preserved and believe it or not according to the Bristol Vehicle website, even enjoyed a spell carrying passengers after leaving there.
It started life as an Eastern Counties vehicle registered CVF 842 in 1939 and is apparently now owned by Group 94 Coventry.
I attach a close up (undated) and for good measure a couple of slightly more up-to-date WN buses parked at the Padstow terminus, also undated. I don't know if they still terminate there.
Sid. Many thanks Sid - as far as I know they still terminate at the station.
