It won't take many incidents like "can you believe this!" to ruin the preserved railway's reputation. What a "mistakatomaka"!

As if that news cannot get any harder to cope with, the latest quote is . . .
"Two 15-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remain in custody". |

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has begun disciplinary action against its chief executive Jonathan Ford for saying the next Wales manager could be "foreign", but "definitely not English".
The FAW has set up a three-person panel to investigate a BBC Sport Wales interview in which Ford said: "We have always favoured Welsh people because arguably the passion is there.
"Somebody said this earlier, Welsh most definitely, foreign possibly but definitely not English."
Anyone hurt? Anyone offended?

Railway death in Cornwall
My parents lived in Bodmin in the sixties & seventies, about as central & away from the coast as you can get in the county. I often heard stories, as well as knowing that folk did use the railway lines as walking home routes. This is the first instance of someone using a main route, the line from Plymouth to Penzance if that is what this tragedy turns out to be. A reminder of the perils of walking on railway lines.
Lostwithiel has a branch line where trains still run to Fowey. I have seen folk using branch lines as walkways in Cornwall. The branch line takes off from Lostwithiel station, running at the side of the main line for a few hundred yards, before diverging along with the river. Who knows what happened regards this nineteen year old, who sadly lost her life.

With all the worlds gloomy news, to add to it, I thought that I recognised the huge former mill building fire in Manchester yesterday. It was a cotton mill, acquired by Courtaulds in 1964.
