Wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't a bit more than a fallen tree if they tried taking either of those down the Looe branch.

No: this is what happens if you take an HST (High Speed Train) down a branch line ...  Wink Cheesy Grin

Good luck with the appeal, but is anyone else getting a picture of a grey squirrel rather than Andy Pegg and Michelle Forfar?  Cheesy

Ah, yes.  Perhaps the caption for the first picture should be changed to 'Local squirrel with no connection to appeal refuses to comment but agrees to pose for camera'.

The Montrose Review has apparently been alerted to the matter, and their article illustration has now been amended accordingly.  Grin



As an aside, I would have thought they would be red squirrels in Montrose, rather than grey ones?  Shocked

Taunton Deane Borough Council close off train station steps from Kilkenny car park to allow for emergency repairs

A nice canopy there. And a Class 185. Things have improved at Taunton Station since I last saw it 12 hours ago.  Roll Eyes

You're the Somerset County Gazette forsake. Based in Taunton. 10 minute walk to the station. Step away from the computer and go use your smartphone to get a location accurate picture. It's not rocket surgery. Or brain science.
