Finn actually likes cats. Inquisitive rather than chase. Problem is the cats don't reciprocate the love. He's been whacked on the nose a few times by the neighbour's and my Sister's cat.

This because GWR▸ offered free travel for children today. I wasn't out on the line today (as it happened, I as at the Plym Valley doing their great "Driver for a Fiver"). Hope it went well.
Thanks to Bob for his pics of yesterday. Yes, I enjoyed my beer at the Queen's Head, Albaston - it's one of my favourite pubs.

The train working the 08:40 service from Plymouth to Gunnislake has hit a tree on the line at Bere Ferrers.
No injuries reported but the train has suffered damage.
Service on the branch has been suspended while clear-up takes place (and a new unit found).

The branch interworks with main line services, did it have a wider knock on effect?
The branch unit runs to Penzance or somewhere similarly exotic with a Cardiff to gunnislake service taken its place later on in the day! Yep that’s right, Cardiff has a direct service to gunnislake!

It did - there were a number of cancellations later due to "A train hitting an obstruction on the line earlier" however I noticed some were then re-instated.
This morning the first round trip on the branch was turned at Bere Alston rather than Gunnislake due to train crew being delayed.

Until the end of August, any child (5-15) travels free if accompanied by a 'teddy bear' and a fare paying adult (2 children per adult). Courtesy of DCRP» and GWR▸ (thanks Richardb).
I borrowed two children to test run it today (actually my grandchildren, before anyone asks), and I can confirm it works with an onboard purchase from the TM‡ (I boarded at St Budeaux). I was slightly hoping to be issued a ticket with 'teddy bear' shown as the pax, however the actuality is that no ticket is issued for the youngsters. The trains both ways were well loaded with families. Full marks for the returning TM who entered into the spirit of things for the children - bought back memories of the GWRSA» Gunni Branch Santa Specials in the 1980s.

Thanks Pb_devon. Just to say, the offer only applies for day trips from Plymouth and the suburban stations.
Sorry no "Teddy Bear" ticket - keeping it simple! Great to hear the trains were well loaded with families in both directions.
Thanks especially to GWR▸ for agreeing to this great offer.

News coming in of a collision between the Gunnislake branch train and a DPD delivery van on one of the Open Level Crossings between Gunnislake and Calstock.
Edit to add: No injuries reported.

Ouch! I'm glad no-one was hurt. Journey check says: 19:13 Gunnislake to Plymouth due 19:58 will be cancelled.
This is due to a road vehicle colliding with level crossing barriers. which doesn't seem to match the photo. |

Also to add, that delivery driver must of been driving like hell to miss the crossing lights. There aren't any crossing lights. Its an OPEN CROSSING with fixed road signage only. Whats stupid about it? |
