Dear All,

As some of you may have heard there are plans afoot to run a 2 day tour to Cornwall with the DTG .

A large amount of work has been put into trying to get an interesting spec allied to a reasonable quote to run the tour.

It is proposed to run on the 15th/16th May as follows:

15th

40145 from the North West via Birmingham, Oxford, Swindon to Westbury

D1015 + 40145 in TANDEM Westbury-Plymouth

40145 Top n Tail D1015

Plymouth-Penzance (Break) Penzance-Truro-Falmouth-Truro-Penzance

40145 Leading into Penzance

16th

40145 Top n Tail D1015

Penzance-St Ives-Penzance (Break) Penzance-Par-Newquay-Plymouth

40145 on rear out of Penzance so that it leads into Falmouth and Newquay

D1015 + 40145 in TANDEM Plymouth-either Bristol, Westbury or Oxford for 40145 solo forward.

This tour is being promoted by the CFPS with the DTG’s support. This is an extremely ambitious but very interesting tour and we need to know what the level of interest is for this to run as we do not want to proceed only to find that we have to cancel because of lack of interest and incur the cost of cancellation. The DTG will also be emailing out this request so please only reply to one, preferably the group through which you would intend to book.

This will be a two day tour so you have to start looking in the region of £120 in standard as the cost of the tour.

We are seeking expressions of interest at booking on the Tour to try to establish if it is viable

If you are intending to book via The DTG Please reply to m.j.streetATbtinternet.com (replace AT with @)

If you intend to book via The CFPS please reply to chairmanATcfps.co.uk (replace AT with @)

The aim is to arrive in Penzance on Saturday afternoon and allow a reasonable break before the trip out to Falmouth.

Those not wanting to do Falmouth on the Saturday night and St Ives on the Sunday morning can then have extended time in Penzance.

Many thanks

John

I'll say! A hellfire plan if ever I saw one!

Arranged today is a SET DOWN stop at St ERTH on Saturday night AFTER the trip to Falmouth and

A PICK UP stop at ST ERTH on Sunday morning BEFORE the train goes to St IVES.

This is to enable people who haven’t yet booked and are trying to find accommodation to stay at either The Premier Inn or The Travelodge.

The two places face each other on the outskirts of Hayle but they are within easy access from St ERTH that offers more flexibility.

PREMIER INN has 41 rooms available, phone 01736 755025 ask for Joy and mention the Railtour.

or

TRAVELODGE has 21 rooms available, phone the central bookings number which is not at the hotel, 08719 848484

I’m told there is a taxi rank is at St Erth Station and an 8 seater or 16 seater minibus can also be booked from a chap called Brian on 01736 755691 or 01736 755599.

St ERTH is quite close to the two hotels mentioned above as they are approachable via the Hayle bypass.

Hope that’s useful
