Fascinating view from rural Cornwall into urban Devon. The obvious high point was crossing Saltash viaduct, slowly enough to pick out construction detail thanks to speed limit. Well shot and thankfully uploaded for us! Thank you!
Loved every second of that journey! the scenery and all the viaducts, just beautiful! no sound no problem, I just bing and bong when passing the lights and woo if needed! great job!
Having only enjoyed this line previously as a passenger, I must say that I hope Network Rail have dealt with all the mudholes I've seen since Penzance. And have tidied the track at Plymouth. However, thanks for reviving some great memories, especially the Albert Bridge. PS.My ancestors migrated from just outside Truro, St Allen.
Been waiting for this one!..as I lived near the line from Liskeard and also at St Germans , thus fascinating, a view of the countryside -- and not from the road. Thank you!!
Brilliant, thank you. Funny old world, when leaving boarding school as a kid I would catch an east bound express to Newbury and mates would catch a west bound express to Salisbury and more often than not, we would meet again at Exeter, them travelling south whilst i was travelling north!!!
Plymouth (North Road) opened in 1877 I think and not 1849. That was the original station at Millbay. Entertaining but depressing in that it shows the run down and cut down state of the railway. Rubbish and graffiti everywhere.
Never get tired of travelling by train between Plymouth and Penzance, the scenery is stunning.
Me neither, just dont get down that way often enough.
You don't until ur wallet goes out lol

This train trots along quite nicely.

when i am in the UK St Germans is my local station so its great to see what it looks like from the cab.
Been down that way a few times. Lovely scenery. Wonderful railways too.
Many thanks!

Interesting!
What was your departing station might I ask?
Loving this, shame that sound wasn’t allowed, the sounds would have added that little bit to it...
Alternative title “Cornwall to England”.
Ha Ha.....
Sad to see Plymouth North Road as was, so down at heel.
Wonderful journey thank you,Spotted some nice lamb dinner's running in the fields,Cheer's bob.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good. You mention the 666 meter Tamar crossing. A meter is something that takes measurements, a metre is a distance of just over 39 inches.
Anyway - why are pretty well all other bridges and tunnels in yards? Was this bridge built or designed by Europeans?
Very good, captions on too short a time tho.
👍
Can anyone advise where the signal is to permit the train onto the single line across the RA bridge? I’ve watched a few times but can’t pick it out
It is visible on the platform halfway down at Saltash. 27m 18s. The train stops right along side P3 signal.
Great trip into my home city. Bit puzzled as to why you've put an unnecessary apostrophe in the plural areas. It doesn't need one. ;-)
Good point!
There are far too many platforms at Plymouth station
