Many thanks for bringing this to our attention John - it'll be interesting to see how these stations evolve with the proposed adaptions.
A 'Peak' back on the mainline
Roger Geach
Not Cornwall, but may be of interest to viewers.
45118 was out on the main line from Barrow Hill to Worksop today, the first time a peak has worked on the mainline for many a year.
Peaks were regulars down in Cornwall from 1970 to 1985.
Any pictures of 45118 in Cornwall back in the day?
Cheers,
Roger

Many thanks Roger, what a great sight. Has anybody got an archive photo of the loco in our region, I wonder?

Lanjeth Clay
Jon Hird
66130 is lit by a spotlight of sunshine as it descends towards Lanjeth with clay from Treviscoe. Photographing a train on this freight-only branch is pretty difficult - it runs through cuttings and beneath trees, it's quite grown-in, it's bordered by extensive private property and to top it all off, it only sees one train a week - with no guarantee on which day or time that'll be! So, I was quite happy to find this little clear spot within sensible proximity of a public place which meant I could get a shot with the drone. 30.05.2024, copyright Jon Hird.
