Here is one of my photos from the Monday. The sun came out in the afternoon making perfect conditions for a shot at Truthall Halt. The train was busy all day which is great for the railway quite a few people stopped in their cars on the bridge too to get photos. A fantastic job has been done restoring the station.

Pictures slowly appearing online of their new short extension northwards into the carpark at Prospidnick, where the shop and buffet have been moved allowing the platform at the station to be used for stabling and static display as well as a departure point for the short ride to Truthall Halt.

A small length of the recently acquired trackbed from Truthall Halt towards the Water-ma-Trout viaduct and Helston is having a short length of track laid on it (under the bridge) during the operational pause during November and early December.
