Fist sighting (?) of a pocket rocket out there.   Anyone know where?

On the floor of a recently discovered Roman Balneum in Aqua Sulis...?

I believe that mosaic is at Falmouth Docks.

Talking of mosaics...the ones in the Temple Meads subway to the left of the relocated coffee hut ....the aforementioned hut completely obscures the Clifton Suspension Bridge mosaic. I wonder if NR have any plans to relocate all three of them. They seem obsessed in covering up what wallspace remains with GIANT platform numbers. Still I think that's an improvement on an advert for the University of Cardiff!

Yes, it is.   

Ironically, I suspect it will be quite rare for the shortened HSTs to reach there.

Although in 2013 FGW ran a special service with a full length HST down to Falmouth Docks to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the line. It ran early on a Sunday morning before the usual 150 started its day on the branch.
