A working rail turntable in Cornwall is an essential part of the turist industry, as steam excursions bring tourists to the county.

The turntable is an important asset in maintaining the tourism associated with steam train visits to Cornwall

This facility must be put back into operation for the benefit of tourism in Cornwall. Steam on the main line will not last for ever and must be maximised for as long as possible

Vital for continuation of main line steam trains in Cornwall, and their contribution to the tourist economy, that the St Blazey turntable be returned to operational use.s

please ensure this is brought back into use asap and not neglected again in this fashion. It is far to important to be neglected in this off-hand fashion

Definitely need to keep the "table" operational to turn locos. Has anyone thought of creating a steam depot at St Blazey. That would give the table more us and put St Blazey on the map, also would not do the Great Western Railway Staff Association at St Blazey any harm either as it is most definitely underused, especially on the lunchtimes.

The St Blazey turntable should definately be restored so that steam engine can be turned there. Further more, how about creating a steam depot at St Blazey. It would certainly put it on the map and draw in much needed tourism and money to St Blazey and the County.

We need to keep as manyof these assets to allow steam to be able to be seen on the main network

The turntable at St Blazey is integral to the shed as well as being a part of the UK and Cornwall's heritage if we don't repair this what's next take steam off the mainline! :-(
