Does anyone have a track layout for, I guess, the station area? Something to show where/which points this happened. Just curious.
Thank you

Google street view shows the layout quite well.

Appears to be in the yard at Liskeard.
Thanks Rich. I understand it's on the point where the curve joins the branch itself. One wheel off, evidently. As Phil indicated earlier, it was the empty stock, only the driver and guard on board and both uninjured. |

D'oh. Never thought of that. Thank you. Note to chastise myself (in private of course). |

One axle derailed on trap points leading from the yard to the Looe branch. Line reopened for the 1641 service to Looe.

Suggestons elsewhere that it was the trap point end of the crossover leading from the Up Main to the yard (No.19B). Strange as thats a trailing connection if the unit was moving empty to the branch......  |

Strange as thats a trailing connection if the unit was moving empty to the branch...... Confirmed elsewhere, that as I posted earlier, that it was infact on the ground frame operated trap points leading from the yard to the Looe single line. There used to be a shunting neck spur there but due the track condition was so poor it had been shortened by removing a rail, and this is where the unit ended up 'off the road'......  |

Unit failed at Laira. It’s hoped the train service will resume with the 10:14 from Liskeard.

Video from the Devon and Cornwall Community Rail Partnership https://www.facebook.com/greatscenicrailways/videos/271209050491031/With the 153s gone ... a minimum of 2 carriages now; now able to handle those unexpected lovely days all year. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

Well done, to all of your team, RichardB. Thanks Chris. Not down to us, of course, though we have been making the case for two coach trains particularly during school holidays for quite some time. |
