The recent closure of the Cattwewater branch prompted me to upload a small collection of some of my photos taken on the Cattewater branch whist living in Plymouth. I used to chase the train down the branch on my bike, a pretty easy feat given the line speed and TMO crossing en route! I never really knew when the trip was supposed to operate but it was a fascinating area to explore anyway with interesting trackwork, redundant branches, the gated grossing at Shapters way, LSWR trespass notices and even broad gauge trach still set into the wharves nearby! Happy memories!
