18th November 2012

Great Western Society / First Great Western
The Looe Valley Line by Steam Railmotor

Unit Used G.W.R. Steam Railmotor 93

Route : (five round trips made)

Unit Route
as listed Liskeard - Looe - Liskeard

Notes :
(1) On Winter Sundays the Looe branch has no timetabled service, so it was possible to issue a special dispensation to run No. 93 on the self-contained line without the use of A.W.S. or T.P.W.S. as the vehicle is not fitted with either type of apparatus. Passengers were only able to join and leave the Railmotor at Liskeard station, no alighting at Coombe or Looe was permitted.
(2) Postponed from 04/11/12, due to failure of the assisting diesel locomotive at Westbury.
