It would be a shame to prevent large steam locos from making the journey down this line

A small but critical part of the railways of the Westcountry today which provides the means for happiness for Cornwall and visitors to the county.

As a resident of mid Cornwall it saddens me to see such a big company to allow an important part of our heritage to fall in to dis repair, network rail and db shenker should ensure this important piece of equipment is repaired and made good for use, the whole goods yard is untidy and over grown

This valuable asset to South West Rail history and current operations should be fully repaired and conserved in full working order

After seeing such a crowd of people on Friday night at Par station waiting to catch a glimpse of our the steams trains on there journey to Penzance it shows that steam is still a wonderful attraction. We need this facility, and it must be kept alive to teach our young children our heritage

This isn't really about the heritage or the steam trains sentiment - it's just about keeping alternative to the car transport alive.

This essential part of Cornwall's railway infrastructure must be preserved. I lived in a house overlooking the Lostwithiel to Fowey branch line, when it was closed to passenger trains in about 1964. The line would be very popular with tourists today.

The turntable is more than a railway relic it is the link to providing a long term future to the region by special tsteam haled tours providing earnings for lCornish and Devon small business and jobs in an area of employment shortage

Too valuable to South West Devon and Cornwal for this to be lost, especially for tourism industry and rail enthusiasts.l
