41307 1964c Plymouth North Road

Bacon & Egg must be the main item on the buffet menu if the size of the sign is anything to go by.

Peter Kerslake says 'This view is looking westwards towards Cornwall here at Plymouth North Road station, with Southern Region 41307 having worked down from the Southern Region's line via the Tamar Valley and the former Southern Region main line round North Dartmoor, this service doubtless having originated from Gunnislake , running on the branch line via Calstock and Bere Alston, where reversal was necessary , and now with one final stop still ahead at Plymouth's Friary station and Southern Region terminus .
Originally having served past Gunnislake northwards to Callington that section of the line was closed in 1966 , but the southernmost section between Bere Alston and Gunnislake was reprieved due to the isolated nature of the area and lack of alternative public transport , and still remains open today.'
