I imagine most people will just take an alternative route, with traffic congestion being worse on routes in such as the M3, A4, A40 than normal.

I suspect I will be easily identifiable in the next range of stats. Im visiting the site today from le tranche-sur-mer in the vendee region of France.would be interested where exactly it defines me as visiting from though!

Popped into tesco again today only had one other title today, Past and Present west Cornwall, ISBN 978-0-7524-5611-9
The present in these are more modern, with pics from 2008 that i've noticed so far. FGW^▸ (First Great Western) sprinters in local lines, and xc liveried voyagers

Its not just me wandering when FGW^▸ (First Great Western) started operating to Ireland then!

I've bought many good books from oxfam, cancer research and many other charity shops. Often the best places for books, just no guarantee what they will have

Bignosemac, the title I have bought was "British Railways Past and Present, Cornwall" ISBN 978-0-7524-4645-5
The present is still 20 years ago, but that didnt bother me really. They had about half a dozen titles in the same series.

I've done this on several occasions, it is far cheaper and quicker to drive to Exeter or taunton and  park at my relations, and get a train from there to anywhere else in the country.
As an example it takes approx 2 hours and ^15 quid of petrol each way to Taunton from my house near Hayle.
Looking at tomorrow morning as an example St Erth to Taunton quickest journey time is 3 hrs 14mins, average is 3hr 30.
ticket prices for peak time saves ^50-60 a return going from Taunton instead of St Erth at least, (last time i travelled, may have changed in around 6 months)

Not sure if appropriate to post, but Tesco Extra in Pool, near Redruth have a small range of "local" railway books at half RRP. bought one for myself this afternoon.
They are marketed in the "local books" section and had 5-6 titles of cornwall, and south west rail books. I purchased a cornwall now and then photos book, admittedly most of the now are actually early to mid 90s, but still may be of interest to some people on here

except the pacers couldnt handle the sharp curves of these branches when first introduced, causing their withdrawal from cornwall when they were first introduced

My brothers partner is caught up in it returning home from paddington, shes put on her facebook that the train is finally moving with declassified first class.

Vacman thanks for the comment about Falmouth, I recall travelling on one to Falmouth but thought i'd imagined it, must of been around 2006 as I was about 17-18 years old. Recall it being in a green livery the specific one i travelled on, perhaps on hire from central trains, or cascade.

I've just realised none of the results are actually newquay, didnt look at the actual pics, just that there was a few hundred results on key word search for, "class 158 at newquay" 

take a quick google and plenty of results.
found this one which stood out taken in Leeds displaying destination of Newquay

I had just noticed that as well, and would deem myself a regular visitor to the site. Now called

Penzance to Cardiff on a 150, **** that for a laugh!!
