RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted September 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2016 Craig, from the photographers point of view you may not like the mist, but it made for a gorgeous picture of the Fowey with nary a ripple on the water. Brian "Like" is not good enough by some measure. Proper job, Craig. Handy to know the local farmers and be granted permission to access fields though eh?

winterbournecm Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hi Brian Many thanks, I'm sorry if the negative view came across about the mist- I was as chuffed as a tramp locked inside a chip shop.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbournecm Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Hi mate. Yes Frank is a grand chap. He sometimes whizzes up there on his quad bike. The cows are a challenge. They were happily grazing in the mist in the top of the adjacent field. I quietly closed the intermediate gate as they ambled across - very curious animals. They gathered at the gate and one or two starting mooing loudly in protest. How do you "Shush" a herd of cows? They mooched back to their grazing and I concentrated on the pictures. I DID re-open the gate of course... There is a series of FP's along the area, but you have to be mindful of animals etc...

brianusa Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 There was a time not that long ago when there when the only time there was any excitement was on Market Day or the Assizes. Now a bus causes excitement! Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted September 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2016 The roadworks in Bodmin are the stuff of nightmares and are set to go on for months. There have been many vociferous complaints. The diversions are causing mayhem. Cornwall Council is almost universally loathed as they seem to engage in one almighty cockerel-up after another. The bus driver also has to wear some responsibility even if directed to use that road. There is a height warning in the cab of every double-deck bus and none of them is as low as 4.1m or 13' 3" (if I read the sign correctly) as per that bridge. Hopefully the height warning sign was as prominent on the approach side as on the exit side shown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 30, 2016 Cornwall is not getting a 30 minute headway service, it is getting 2 trains an hour, one fast and one stopper, they most definitely wont be 30 minutes apart except maybe at a coupe of stations where the timetable just happens to work out that way. During all the discussions on setting the remit for the Plymouth & Cornwall resignalling (which is now, for the present, 'amended' to additional signals controlled by the existing boxes), I made it very clear that the design should allow for charter paths between Plymouth and Penzance. This was fully supported and desired by DB Schenker (as was) and WCR. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 30, 2016 Currently sat next to platform four getting ready for the trip out tomorrow morning, a beautiful sight. I'll post here some of the better photos I took on my phone, I've yet to get the ones off the proper camera and they'll be too large to post tonight. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg It really was a lovely sight, Braunton is great but it's nice to see something other than that come down here for a change How gratifying to see one of those sidings there being used for this purpose. It was necessary to make quite a fuss at one point during the discussions on the remit and design for the Plymouth and Cornwall resignalling, to leave sufficient siding capacity down there at Penzance. Certain individuals were keen to remove far too much infrastructure. One of those sidings next to platform 4 will now remain, and charter use was one of the requirements cited. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
