What is the state of china clay traffic these days please? I've not been to the county for about 20 years but a visit might be on the cards so it would be good to know where potential moves might be seen.

The only remaining 'local' traffic is a daily trip from Fowey to Goonbarrow and return;
in addition, the weekly block train to Stoke on Trent still operates, usually running to
Exeter in two portions (one on Wednesday, the other Thursday).

Many thanks Mark, thinking about it, it is more like 30+ years since I was in the area so a big change in traffic levels! Is Goonbarrow now the only loading point left? Also, I guess that there is not much in the way of loco crews and traction based at St Blazey any more?
