The cream of Cornwall - the Castle class HSTs retire next month, 49 years after High Speed Trains started work in the west. Three sets were operating yesterday. @gerbil1978.bsky.social @jedkendray.bsky.social @rangercaps66.bsky.social @thattallbloke.bsky.social @suffolkraider.bsky.social
A HST arrives at Plymouth. A HST arrives at Penzance. A HST crosses Hayle viaduct, with boats below. A HST makes a smoky departure from Hayle station, passing a HST stop sign.

If you're feeling pasty-faced, medical help is at hand.

It's verse than you think - only in Halesworth would someone compose a poem to lament the closure of the Coopers hardware store.

Autumnal scenes on @eastsuffolklines.co.uk around Halesworth Millennium Green and the restored (and disused) short stretch of the old narrow gauge Southwold Railway, which runs parallel to the main railway, just south of Halesworth station. See halesworthtosouthwoldrailway.co.uk for more details.
A grey Greater Anglia train, 755419, passes an oak tree as it enters Halesworth Millennium Green on the 11.16am Ipswich to Lowestoft service. In the foreground is a restored short stretch of the Southwold Railway, passing over a bridge. In the background, framed by trees, a grey Greater Anglia train, 755336, passes over a bridge on the 12.06pm Lowestoft to Ipswich. No trespassing is involved, as this is a public path in Halesworth Millennium Green. The stretch of relayed narrow gauge line, on the old track bed of the former Southwold Railway, covered with leaves.

Post-Halloween horrors at the antiques shop.
A creepy doll's head in a glass cover. A sign that says please use back entrance for service, pointing to the back of a wooden elephant. A monkey looks like it is about to smash the brains of a bear. A blocky wooden rocking horse with big square teeth

Halesworth's scarecrow festival has taken a dark turn... unless it's a delivery to the carpet shop.

Could it be magic? Harry Potter, before and after a day out in Halesworth... (Both part of the excellent Halesworth scarecrow festival.) @eastsuffolklines.co.uk
A smart looking Harry Potter mannequin, sat on a trunk and with a toy owl in a cage to the left. A more rustic looking Harry Potter scarecrow, with straw hands and feet, outside a bakery.

The season of mists, mellow fruitfulness - and squirty sheds. 66701 and 66756 cross Whitlingham Junction, Norwich, on the first leaf-blasting railhead treatment train (RHTT) of autumn 2025. @gerbil1978.bsky.social @pickgs.bsky.social @rangercaps66.bsky.social @thattallbloke.bsky.social
A train, with tankers sandwiched between two diesel locos, crosses a railway junction, squirting water onto the rails to remove fallen leaves and stop trains slipping.
