Oh Dear!
This from CornwallLive:
"An historic train journey which was supposed the first train to run direct from Okehampton to London in 50 years has been scrapped after the engine slipped down the line this morning, damaging the wheels."
A nice shiny green HST as well, with not a kettle in sight.
Gosh, just gosh!
A question to all the clever engineers and climate scientists out there.
Is maintaining this route sustainable?
Or at least acceptable to the voters and business people of Devon and Cornwall, without the provision of an alternative reliable rail route to the rest of the country?
Meanwhile eyes are turning once again to the Withered Arm...
Twitter fans may wish to look at #reopentheLSW
UPDATE: This from a Western Man...
I can assure you we have no interest in visiting the rest of Britain.
And we are delighted that we now have our own, self contained, CornishRail.
We look forward to raising a glass from Kernow to you all on St Piran's day.
