Perhaps this why there is rail based interest in Meldon Quarry - Granite ballast

Thanks for your thoughts.

Does anybody know why the Colas hauled traffic, to Moorswater, is coming to an end please?

Good news. less so, a comment has been made that clay traffic to Fowey has ceased until late July. Can anybody shed light on this please?

Many thanks, lets hope so.

Hi, I've noticed the sand/clay waste traffic from St Blazey, Cornwall to London appears to be nolonger running although it still shows on RTT. Does anybody know what the future holds please?

It could be the bad weather has disrupted the shipping timetables and they are awaiting arrivals at Fowey. I cetainly hope it is something like that.

Many thanks for the explanation CMS. I guess we must have missed the announcment of the change to Flandres, although the departure board at Lyon was showing europe. Yes, it was 8 mins at europe, departure at 44 rather than 17.36.

A smooth journey from Montparnasse to Lyon using bus no 91. 30 mins with brief glimpses of the sites! Took the 15.15 to Lille Europe which terminated at Flandres. Is this normal? Having not used this route before we were left with a bit of a scrabble to to get to Europe. Will know for next...

Thanks, everyone, for the information and guidance.

Any suggestions on the easiest way between the two above stations please. arrive at M at mid day, depare Lyon at 15.15. On the last visit one of the party was the victim of pickpockets in the Monparnasse area, so not keen on the metro. Thanks

Thanks Furnessvale. December is not far away so, if correct info, it will soon be public. I just hope there is not a switch to road transport!!

Reported several months ago that DB and Imerys were in discussion to renew the contract for traffic between Goonbarrow/Parkandillack and Carne Point. If memory serves me well, the existing contract ends in December. Does anybody know how talks are progressing?

Thanks for your replies. I was wondering why the delays. last nights delay happened to be 4 mins, hence my quote. That said, waiting at Par, Bodmin Parkway or Liskeard for a delayed sleeper can be a cold experience particularly as we move into winter.

This service is often late leaving PZ, tonight it was 4 mins. Can anybody tell me what causes the delay please? Thanks
