Title: Branch Line Society special - Plymouth to Laira
Post by: a-driver on May 02, 2015, 13:25:15
Not sure where to post this but:

Branch Line Society special running from Plymouth this morning out to Laira and, I think, its due to go down the branch towards Cattewater.  Full HST set top n tailed by both Laira Class 08 locos.  All profits from the trip going to a local charity.

Many thanks for posting on the Coffee Shop forum about that very unusual 'special', a-driver.  :)

I've now moved the topic here, simply because it relates to a specific event in Plymouth: for ease of future reference, our readers will be able to find it here on the Plymouth board, or indeed by following the redirect link I've posted in 'across the West'.

Hope this helps. CfN.  ;)

No problem!

The profit from running this special went to Plymouth & District Mind, nearly ^8000 in total so well done all those involved down in Plymouth
