Par Docks Branch runs from St.Blazey to the China Clay Sidings on the dock side. On the 23rd Mar. 2007 The Lancashire Fusilier & 37 410 on a special used the branch, which included operating the gates at the dock.
Nice vid. I lived in Par for two years and for three in St Austell and never once saw those level crossing gates closed or a single train use that line. That was back in the early 80's.
@dazz1966 That's good. The depot should be taken over by Bodmin and Wenford I reckon!
