Always available at the chip shop in Newlyn!!

 A great advert for excellent food from Cornwall. If you haven't tried it, Cornish Blue  is a world class cheese ,as is Lanreath Mature Gouda.

Pardon me for asking, as I do not know the S Wales Mainline very well, but is the limiting factor on line speed  there coming up to 125 mph the provision of electrification or the track allignment?

If the cliff falls down it blocks the railway line!

That sounds remarkably sensible!

Plymouth Council made a good job of selling off Bretonside Bus Station and relocating to a much smaller site in the city centre not too far form the Rail Station. The old bus station was a 1960s horror, full of undersirables, smelling strongly of urine and hardly a great advert for the city to those unfortunate to arrive by bus. The redevelopment has ben an asset to the city and the new coach station is clean bright and modern. Win win all round I would say.

St Erth is still pretty much unchanged, even down to the signals. Arguably the least changed mainline GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) station.

Philadelphia Tyne & Wear

Do keep in mind that St Erth to Carbis Bay only takes 7 minutes!

More likely would be drive to St Erth and get the train round to Carbis Bay. I gather the recent phone call between Johnson and Biden focussed a fair but on train journeys!

 I seem to recall that a good number of the old timers on the Restaurant cars were ex- Navy, and so pouring wine or serving soup  from a tureen in a rocking restaurant car would be second nature to them. Most of them were on there for years. Does anyone remember any of the personalities? My favourite was Jack, a Plymouthian, who I believe started as a lad on the original GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway), served all the way through BR^▸ (British Rail(ways))(W) and retired well into his 60's in FGW^▸ (First Great Western) times.

Possibly, but I seem to remember when some major work was done on the viaduct at the east end of Liskeard station they did the replacement and kept trains running.

Maybe we can also hope for a return to the splendid show of the restaurant car team serving soup from the tureen, legs well splayed for stabilty as the Golden Hind thunders  over the points somewhere west of Reading ?

Just another clarification. Newquay is extremely well suited for the biggest aircraft to fly in. It is a front runner to become the UK^▸ (United Kingdom) spaceport due to its long runway, and was, until mothballed also a US airbase with a lot of very nasty missiles stored there,  and high security so the USAF^▸ (United States Air Force) will be very familiar with it.

I suggest renaming a number of stations in Cornwall after their local pasty bakers. Hence we get

Saltash Helluva
Liskeard Barnicutt
Lostwithiel Luscombe
St Austell Niles
Camborne Berryman
Hayle Philp
Penzance Warren

This would be contingent on an agreement that no station is Cornwall could countenance being named after Ginsters!
