    My father in law lived in Saltash for about 35 years until he sadly passed 2 years ago. We loved travelling down to visit. We did the walk across the Brunel bridge to celebrate 150 years too .

    You have me hooked. West, central, and now east Cornwall. This series of videos is absolutely ACE. First rate work.

    4:46 I remember seeing an ex-works D6336 shunting the yard at Liskeard in 70 or 71, still got a photo somewhere!

    Wonderful to be looking at a current day comparison that's still an operational railway and not a pile of undergrowth ... or new Housing Development with a Beeching Way!

    Are you covering West Cornwall? Thinking particularly of Gwinear Road and Helston, where I used to live, and the bits of the old line that have been resored and reopened as a heritage project

      I am, I will get round to it, sometime around March/April, and there is also North Cornwall to do.

    WHAT??? @ 0:56 A Train stopping at at Crossing??? Since when do Trains stop at a Crossing??? Surely it is the other way round??? 🤔🚂🚂🚂

      Terras Crossing is one of the best crossings in the world. Although Cars have to stop, the crossing is by a blind Road junction, and there are no other warning mechanisms, such as lights, bell, barriers or sirens to warn cars of the oncoming train.

    A semaphore signal on a platform ? That's a recipe for disaster isn't ? l'll bet a few drunk members of the local Zoo have swung of it Friday and Saturday nights !!!

      Semaphores are quite tall, you’re going to need Mr Tickle to swing that
