I love this shot. It's Wulfric at St Erth two summers ago. We were in the middle of a South West Rail Rover trip and were about to travel up the branch to St Ives, one of Britain's finest lines.
The idiot commie Beeching tried to destroy our future by destroying our railways but even he missed a few of the branches in the west country. Today you can still travel to St Ives, Newquay, Falmouth, Looe, Gunnislake, Exmouth and Barnstaple by modern transport, even if Padstow, Ilfracombe, Bude, Bideford and many other big towns in the SW are still waiting for their trains to come back. Not long to wait now ...
