The roads around West Cornwall are quieter but still busy.  Rush hour in our 'capital' is perhaps around a third as busy as peak, however, there are still many cars (not taxis) with 3 or 4 people, and a lot with 2 people.
Certainly not essential travel I feel.   

Is it me? 
The clear track adjacent to the track laying equipment (Stafford picture https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/stafford-rail-development-sets-track-laying-record-as-it-enters-final-stages-1) looks very 'kinked'.
Guess there is a technical term for it.

I feel there's a story to be told here 

I do remember (yonks ago) a DMU crawling along a station, with the driver waiting for a 1 bell stop buzz from the guard.  Happened a few times.
Also happened in steam days with the driver waiting for a long whistle as to when to stop.

Apologies, off topic!

Going back many (many) years.  Taking the train from Penzance to Wick via London.
Whilst on the Inverness to Wick section I bought a few miniature whisky bottles from the buffet.
Having consumed those quite quickly I went back for several more; and again a little later.
On my next visit to the buffet I was told they had sold me the last one on board but they would meet the down train halfway, and would get a supply from that train (and would bring to my seat).
Trains duly passed, and several more bottles were bought to me.

Those were the days.....

Perhaps a free Port with every steak!

I withdraws my vote for member broadgage! (Been watching Worzel Gummidge, apologies)
Local Cornish produce would produce nothing runny; it would always be firm.
Jam first. 

May I suggest member broadgage takes charge of OUR catering section.
Guaranteed to be a great success, which in turn would remove all the other caterers.

Vote broadgage NOW 

A vote for missing Kingswear please.
Also a vote for the missing Dartmouth which had a booking office but never a railway.
Went to school in steam/DMU days between Kingswear and Churston.
Quite often if the main line went missing, the Brixham DMU would be pressed into service to return is US (as in pupils) back to Kingswear 

Edit to change is to us - apologies

Well, he DOES have friends in high places......

Just wondering if the two threads ((this one and http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=24328.15)) on the sleeper service could be merged into one, perhaps under a "Sleeper Service" heading.
Problems, amendments or praise could be under the one thread.

Proper job! 

Like the UK Brexit vote, this will split the forum vote as well.
I think Boris won the election vote by a simple theme of "Let's get it done"! The argument had gone on too long and everyone was sick and fed up with the stalemate.
Whilst the country was divided, what finally swung it the Boris way was the total indecision of Parliament over several years.
Yes, Cornwall voted leave; as said above, only time will tell if that was right or wrong. 
The country is STILL split with many being certain that the world will end for the UK very shortly.
Maybe Cornwall will soon end up bankrupt and closed for business; only time will tell 

Er, not quite.
Dual carriageway from Camborne to Chiverton roundabout (turn right for Truro).
Single road from Chiverton to Carland Cross roundabout.
Thence dual to Exeter and on up.....
Planning stages going through for dualling between Chiverton and Carland - once completed it WILL be dualled between Exeter and Camborne, but that won't be until (maybe) December 2022.

Would have thought most people pay the full fare these days? Apart from season tickets and some on discount railcards.
Even less are aware of split ticketing.
Possibly because it's easier just to pay the full amount than searching and working out discounts, etc.
