This trip is scheduled to be double-headed by 60103 Flying Scotsman and B1 Mayflower

Flying Scotsman set two world records for steam traction, becoming the first steam locomotive to be officially authenticated at reaching 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) on 30 November 1934, and then setting a record for the longest non-stop run by a steam locomotive when it ran 422 miles (679 km) on 8 August 1989 while in Australia.

Mayflower was built in 1948 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow but was delivered post-nationalisation and acquired the number 61306 by British Railways. She was first allocated to Hull Botanic Gardens Depot followed by a spell at Hull Dairycotes Depot before being finally transferred to Low Moor Depot, Bradford. She was the last B1 in service, her final trip was hauling the 'Yorkshire Pullman' from Leeds in September 1967.

Thank you! to all those that have helped in providing Angarrack with its first Defibrillator. The response to the village collection was astounding.

The first on is on the side of the Angarrack Inn, if you need it call the ambulance 999 and they will give you the code.

The village's spirited generosity has sparked interest in a few other funding streams and we are hopeful to get at least one more in the very near future.

We are linked in with the Ronnie Richards Memorial Charity who are striving to have a network of Public Access Defibrillators across the whole of Cornwall.
They have offered to run some training sessions for all that are interested in learning basic CPR and how a Defibrillator works.
These sessions are free, open to all.

There's a session every Friday evening in October so plenty of opportunities and you are welcome to book more than one place.

Come along meet some of the village and learn to save a life.
