"Railways are not a thing of the past". (Sir John Betjeman). My tweets about a tiny Cornish Railway Station and beyond. Views all my own.

Sometimes, Twitter is quite difficult to navigate past the hate, the division, and just sheer ignorance.

So I'll just plonk this here in your timeline. Pure unadulterated early railway from the gorgeous Dartmoor.

@geofftech @DunsfordDJ @jayforeman @tubemapper Sort of like what we have here in the SW with a Motorway Service Station on the M5 that is signposted northbound only despite being on a roundabout and perfectly placed for southbound traffic!

@geofftech @DunsfordDJ @jayforeman @tubemapper This wouldn't be a policy thing would it? Like one platform is different from the other therefore making the interchange more difficult in some way.

One of my early railway photos: the unique British Telecom liveried class 118 set P460 (51302/59469/51317) approaching Sapperton tunnel with a Cheltenham - Swindon service in 1988.

Same set back home too! Feeling very wind swept! My forehead wounds are a result of my cats midnight antics trying to scale the shelves next to my bed 🤦🏻‍♀️😼
