A train that no longer runs! At 15.42 Class 66 no. 66197 waits to proceed to its destination just around the corner with 6C11 (WO) 14.15 Long Rock to St. Blazey, empty TTA tank wagons delivering fuel to Penzance's HST depot. After being cut back from the far reaches of Cornwall this fuel train just ran from Fawley, Southampton to St. Blazey on Tuesdays only, but that too was discontinued and now fuel for trains travels by truck! There's progress...
