winterbournecm Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hello there Here is a new topic to detail photos and timings of railtours and specials running on the mainlines and branches of Cornwall. It was introduced to allow better access to forthcoming workings - rather than cluttering up the excellent Cornwall today topic. Would people rather we keep it for up to date pictures & information, or tours from years gone by? Please add your comments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted August 29, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2013 Craig, thanks for posting the fact that the Royal Duchy's running. Going by the times on uk steam tours site, if I read it right that makes 2 steam trains (royal duchy) (torbay express) through between Exeter & Dawlish Warren within 12 minutes of each other! Worth a trip down to Starcross if I've got time. Interestingly, the Duchy then sits at the Warren for 18 minutes.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Take a look at Realtimetrains and there's also a light engine move and a departmental working in the Starcross area at the same time, could be a productive Sunday morning Rich. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/DWW/2013/09/01/0600-2000?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 3, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2013 There was a short piece on BBC Spotlight about the FGW franchise being extended to September 2015. One of the commitments is to have an extra 2 coaches on the sleeper service - presumably one in each direction... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Triang Paul Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 As I have put in the Kernow Today thread a while back, 1 SLEP and 1 TFOD have been sourced. Next summer will therefore see a normal 5 SLEP train instead of just a sat and a spare FO as we only have 2 to play with at the moment ! The TFOD will be a pre refurb experiment with a new design of disabled toilet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted March 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2014 /\ /\ /\ Useful info - but that's all going to Devon, not Cornwall..... UK mainline steam tours shows the 'Great Britain VII' London - Truro on 26th April, then Falmouth - Bristol on 27th. Nunney Castle 5029 plus Brittania 70000 each way. Then 'The Royal Duchy' Bristol - Par & return 1st June with Nunney Castle, Tangmere and Oliver Cromwell shown! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TrevorP1 Posted April 1, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2014 /\ /\ /\ Useful info - but that's all going to Devon, not Cornwall..... UK mainline steam tours shows the 'Great Britain VII' London - Truro on 26th April, then Falmouth - Bristol on 27th. Nunney Castle 5029 plus Brittania 70000 each way. Then 'The Royal Duchy' Bristol - Par & return 1st June with Nunney Castle, Tangmere and Oliver Cromwell shown! Unfortunately can't see 70000 being involved. Currently the engine (not the tender) is at the Mid Hants with the front driving wheels out. They are due to be dispatched to the South Devon on Thursday for attention to loose keys between the wheel and axle on both sides. The guys in Devon will remove the wheels and then we'll see. No effort is being spared to get it done ASAP but with the best will in the world it is sadly unlikely to be in Cornwall at the end of the month.

winterbournecm Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yes, I'm afraid it is for the foreseeable future. Huge money needs spending. Here is a working for Apl 11th.

winterbournecm Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) A heads up for some Cornish loco hauled action in the coming week. The FGW class 57 & day coaches will start training runs next weeks on Tues 8th / Wed 9th & Sat 12th Apl. How exact (times wise) and reliable these runs will be are speculative, but they're in Trust and I'm hopeful they'll produce! Whether they'll run in concurrent weeks on the same days / timings is not known at the moment. 5Z11 10.20 Long Rock to Plymouth Truro 10.55 Par 11.16 Liskd 11.44 5Z12 12.50 Plymouth to Long Rock Liskd 13.19 Par 13.40 Truro 14.03 St Erth 14.37 Slight amendment - Saturday return is 12.30 from Plymouth Edited April 5, 2014 by winterbournecm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
