Sorry @sleek I forgot to reply. It's A06 FB Wood1 SAM9 kuid2:248163:105515:1 A 6 car summer special ready for the right away from St Ives and pulling away from the station en-route back to St Erth.

Departure from Carbis Bay, the site of the former Carrack Gladden hotel and café on the right.

Looking towards Lelant from Wharf Road overbridge. The train must be late...

An early afternoon Penzance to London service pulling into St Erth. 1980.

From the other side of Longrock Road heading east from Marazion.

A 125 passing under Longrock Road, Marazion. Not far to go now.
