Bere Ferrers

Now that the location has been rumbled in 'Wheeltappers', here are some more photos of Bere Ferrers from last week. Apart from the operational platform on the Gunnislake branch, the rest of the site is in private ownership, and most of that belongs to the gentleman who runs 'The Tamar Belle', which is a combination of visitor attraction and Bed & Breakfast establishment.

The original station nameboard, bought by an enthusiast in the 1970s, and now returned to the site on long term loan:

The Bed & Breakfast accommodation (it looked rather super inside!):

I believe this diesel to be operational:

Whereas the Peckett 'Hilda' definitely is not (yet - the boiler is away being worked on):

On the other hand, this one wasn't working either!

And then we had to get the train back to Plymouth...
