The little people have come to Trevarno Station. On the way to Truthall see if you can spot them as you travel through Trevarno on the left. On the platform there’s the flower train. See if a naughty gnome had had more than he could handle.

Track bed to Helston beyond our present boundary. It looks intimidating, but it will be possible to clear it relatively quickly. Photos taken from the public highway. Near and over the bridge at Trannack. Plus a view of Cober viaduct

Due to a lack of numbers, we have regrettably had to make the decision to cancel our Wednesday operating this week. We will be running as normal on Thursday.
