Liskeard 29.8.1972
Tracklaying was due to start on the Helston branch in early May. The first couple of panels are already down. The Cornish rail revival is currently in its infancy, but the Bodmin and Wenford have led the way and there are still a few lines that are empty trackbed rather than transport links.
Other Cornish lines have fared much better, with Looe, Falmouth, St Ives, Newquay and Gunnislake still having (often very busy!) passenger trains. But Padstow and Bude and Helston still await their trains, as well as other large Cornish towns such as Launceston and Wadebridge.
