At least they 'explain' there not-quite-right picture. An IET to Looe seems unlikely, even in many years time when they're on gentler duties like the castles now are.

No, it's one of their 'stock photos of a train' at Bristol Temple Meads again, isn't it?

Your reply is almost as late as GWRs trains in Cornwall today

I know: I was, as usual, looking for something else when I happened to stumble across this historic topic.
Thankfully, the car driver in that particular incident was not seriously injured. Just a bloody nose, apparently.
Our frequent readers should know by now that the use of such clearly irrelevant images, in otherwise factual news articles, is something that winds me up somewhat. It's just shoddy journalism.
CfN.
