St Blazey Turntable

The turntable at St Blazey is a valuable part of the ralway infrastructure in the South West. It needs to be kept in working order to allow steam charter excursions to operate west of Plymouth

we need to save all the important historical items from the railways of the UK.

Perth's turntable must be last one we lose.

Just seen this, hope not too late..

Outrageous! This valuable facility should be retained and upgraded.

To allow a valuable and essential part of our industrial history to fall into disuse and maybe eventual closure is a MAJOR folly. In the interest of tourism and maintaining our industrial past it MUST be kept in workable condition.

This is a real asset now as it enables steam trains to come to be turned in Cornwall. These trains bring in much needed rev These trains bring much need revenue to this and the surrounding area. Both the turntable and the round house are of historic interest and are listed and should be preserved. Malcolm Bowers. Parish Priest. St. Blazey and Tywardreath am trains to come to Cornwall and brings in valuable income. Along with the round house it is of historic interest and should be preserved. The communites at St. Blazey, Tywardreath and Par are rightly proud of their history and want to continue to benefit from these trains coming to our area.

Please save this important area!

With steam railway gaining more visitors , interest and support, restoring St.Blazey turntable is vital.

I agree with the comment by John Thorpe if a St. Blazey Turntable Volunteer Work Group was formed, following any repairs required, I would be quite happy to put my name forward as a volunteer.

Must be saved for the long haul!

This is yet another part of our heritage that is in danger of being lost forever.

Essiential piece of past and future heratage for the local area,steam locos, and train and industrial heratige.

There is so much being sold out here in Cornwall, it's like someone wants to close it down as far as being an attractive and interesting are is concerned and turn it into just one big "New Town".

Have just been told turntable is being used today ..(6/7/14)

i have just been to par to see steam excursion and was told that the turntable was now being used to turn locos. seems like something is being done.

I'm a Cornish man born and bred in Par been here all my life I'm 58 this October i can remember back in the old days as a kid they used to have open days there i used to go every year and my favourite things were the diesel engines and the turntable please keep it going ! :)

Would be great to see steam on the Newquay line.

watched a steam train turn today, fantastic to see the turntable in use.

Definitely an Asset to turn both loco's & coaches
