THE Branch Line Society has furthered its reputation for charters accessing parts of the network that other trains don't normally reach.
On the Bodmin & Wenford Railway on March 23, a special consisting of Bagnall former Par Docks and Class 08 No. 08359 – and 43 passengers in the GWR autocoach – was tasked with ‘kissing the buffers’ in sidings, headshunts and sheds along the 6½ miles of track between Bodmin Parkway and Boscarne Junction.
