Down to Fowey

Catching china clay in Cornwall these days is tough.

Scheddule :-

1. Monday Lunchtime Goonbarrow to Fowey and evening return - cancelled non runner.

2. Tuesday Exeter Riverside to St Blazey - cancelled no driver.

3. Tuesday Goondbarrow to Fowey and return - ran out 30 early and return 2 hours early.

4. Wednesday - St Blazey to Exeter Riverside and Goonbarrow to Fowey - cancelled no drivers or train - see 2.

5. Thursday - Goonbarrow to Fowey at lunchtime - ran 30 early. Return doesn't run see 6. Parkandillack to Exeter cancelled - see 2

6. Friday - Fowey to Parkanddilack ran 60 early and return to Fowey ran 240 minutes early - seen here between Lostwithiel and Fowey.

 

So a potential of 8 freights, only three ran and all early.

 

Tuesday I had family commitments and Thursday it wasn't worth the drive north in torrential rain for one movement, but I was lucky the final run suited my journey home.
