Would love to see the equivalent line speed diagram for Paddington to Penzance.

I shall unmask myself.  I am Tim Hughes, current Mayor of Lostwitihel, campaigner for a replacement footbridge for the last 8 years, and otherwise strong supporter of Lostwithiel Station.

Have built relationships with CC and the industry and we have seen some great minor investments at the station which have made the traveling experience significantly better.  We were the only station in the Devon and Cornwall area to secure access for all funding to aid access to platform two when the bridge is installed, and thanks are owed to Sheryll Murray MP^▸ (Member of Parliament) for helping make this happen.

The officers and staff at CC have been really good throughout this, but now Councillor Martin has hijacked this project and is trying to claim the credit for it.  Anyone would have thought there are Cornwall Council elections brewing..... And yes, I am a candidate in these elections !

My mistakes.  Thanks Graham.

As suggested by others, and collated into a poll by me. 

Given the opportunity to convey visiting world leaders, by train on the St Ives Branch line, what rolling stock would you choose.

Thanks all.

Thanks for the post Graham, however my screen is not showing the 'post new poll' button anywhere.

Cheers

That is almost worth a poll !!

Given the opportunity, what should Boris use to late world leaders on a trip to St Ives?

Heritage DMU^▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit), Autocoach and Panier, Steam Rail Motor, or 150 ?

Clueless as to how to set up a poll, so will park that idea !!

Trying to book for early February, and struggling. 

It came through Lostwithiel earlier today?

Looks a bit sheepish to me.

One and all

Am just starting to research options for getting from Lostwithiel to Brighton and Back for a concert in February, for 1 adult and 1 child.  So far the only route offered is into London and back out to brighton.

Any pointers as to what route I should be looking for please ?

Cheers all

One and All

Please see the attached, which I have permission from Cornwall Council to share.

Lostwithiel to Fowey was not successful this round.

Lostwithiel to Fowey is one of the 60.

Works van, or any of the tools in it !

One and all

Kernow Otter is actually Tim.  Lifelong believer in railways, and a passionate supporter of the benefits of Public Transport.

The observant amongst you, might have figured out that I am in Cornwall, in Lostwithiel, and after 8 years serving on the Town Council, I am currently Mayor of Lostwithiel.  Over those 8 years the Council has been leading a drive to improve service levels and the passenger offering at our station, and it is hugely gratifying to have engaged with, and been listened to by the key influencers for the railway in Cornwall.

We have seen, the redundant sidings cleared of unsightly vegetation, a huge uplift in stopping services, engagement with GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) at regular timetable group meetings and the annual conference, new trains, new seating, a refurbished waiting room, repainted station buildings, station wifi, new platform lighting, better access to the up platform and carpark, bespoke Timetables, bespoke leaflets, and reinstated litter bins.

Lostwithiel has just been awarded £ 100k from the station access fund for accessibility enhancements to the Down platform, which we understand should coincide with a commitment from GWR, Cornwall Council, and Network Rail to relocate the former footbridge from Totnes to a new home at Lostwithiel, which will go a long way to alleviating the disruption caused by having the level crossing with the highest number of barrier movements west of Exeter.

Longer term, an application has been made to the £ 500m Beeching fund to consider reopening the branch line to Fowey for passenger service, and the suggested lifting of some of the redundant down siding capacity to provide much needed carparking.

Our community is hugely grateful for the ongoing support of GWR, NR^» (Network Rail - home page), DBS^» (Deutsch Bahn Schenker - UK^▸ (United Kingdom) website), Cornwall Council, (in particular Nigel Blackler), Richard Burmingham at DCorP, and Sheryll Murray our MP^▸ (Member of Parliament) to name but a few.

The improvements at our station have been transformative for our Town, and if you are looking for a supporter of joint and partnership working, then look no further.
