It's time for another branch line discovery. This time, we're are fairly close to my home in Devon as we are in Cornwall on the Looe Valley Line, which runs between Liskeard (on the GWR mainline) and the seaside town of Looe.
Originally the line was built to ship quarried granite down from the mines in Bodmin moor to the quayside at Looe. But when the curve up to Liskeard's mainline station was built in 1901, it really took off as a passenger service.
There's some very cute little request stops along the route, and with some judicious checking of the timetables, I think I can visit all-but-one of them during this trip.
There may even be a chance for a trip to the beach and a pint of beer!
