'The Bodmin Bubble'
23rd March 2024
Roger Winnen/James Goodhall/Jon Hird
The branch line society ran a special excursion over the Bodmin Railway on 24.03.2024. Named 'The Bodmin Bubble', the tour was initially planned to utilise the railways resident 1st generation DMU 121020, however this was substituted for class 08 08359 and Port-of-Par Bagnall Saddle Tank 'Judy' hauling a GWR Autocoach. The tour visited many 'rare' sections of track along which the public cannot usually ride. Our special thanks to the Bodmin Railway for allowing Roger access for photography!
Meanwhile, back at Bodmin General...
'Judy' and 08359 then departed top and tailed with the autocoach for Bodmin Parkway.
