Railtours in Cornwall - 2nd May 2026

‪@fanticman‬Filmed in 4K. Featuring the 'Atlantic Voyager' tour from Dorridge to Newquay and return at Par and Menheniot. My favourite loco, 47813, the former SS Great Britain, John Peel + Jack Frost hauled the train south from Dorridge, 47812 was on the rear. I first encountered 47813 as D1720 in March 1973 when it hauled a British Rail 'Merrymaker' from Paddington to York. I travelled on this train from Reading General to York and back. 47813 is now 62 years old, 47812 being a year younger. The Belmond 'Britannic Explorer' from Bishops Lydeard to Penzance is also seen passing through Par hauled by 66744 'Heart of Wales' + 66748 'St Michael's Mount'.
