Reports coming in of a derailment at Penryn on the Truro-Falmouth branch. https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/live-updates-train-derails-between-2477550The train line between Falmouth and Truro has been blocked after a train derailed. The incident happened at Penryn station at around 12.50pm. The train affected is the 12.53 service to Truro from Falmouth. The line has been completely blocked by the train that is now sitting between the two tracks. It is unknown at this stage how long it will take to rectify and when the line will reopen. Interesting photograph of Penryn in that report.....  |

Is this what is known as the Penryn Problem? |

Is there still a Bruff re-railer at Laira? And if so, is it on its way?

Going to be an interesting inquiry. Looks as though its come off on the single to loop points. Its all our (my) fault for discussing the Penryn solution elsewhere on here  |

Far from it. I'm sure he "bravely battled to control his loco", as was reported some years ago, and "wrestled desperately" to keep it on the rails. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/hero-at-100mph-1632744It's quite something to think that is nearly 12 years ago now, and it remains the last fatality due to a crash on the railway (Network Rail that is.) |

Falmouth to Truro stays next to the platform. Truro to Falmouth then pass around on the loop. Obviously this is 150234 making a bid for freedom.... |

The points must have been damaged as only one train an hour in each direction running today (Tuesday 29 January).

I still smile at his explanation that he was taught "should of" at school. Really? Should of gone to a better school then.
