Truro trains of interest
Joe Birchall
Today (03.09) I saw 57 602 as you predicted, on its way through Truro at 08:04, also passing an IET on its way down, which was ironic considering the Sleeper was run by an IET yesterday.
Then this afternoon I saw the Colas tamper on its way down, running 54 minutes late.

Some lovely early morning light as 57602 draws closer to the camera, on its way to Reading with the empty sleeper stock. 03.09.2025, copyright Joe Birchall.
A Colas Rail tamper heads for Truro yard later in the day. The decapitated semaphore still standing. 03.09.2025, copyright Joe Birchall.
Many thanks, Joe - an interesting couple of photos.
