Ancient and modern at Truro
A 21st century class 800 IET train being signalled by a Victorian era technology semaphore signal. The train is on a Paddington to Penzance service. The Falmouth branch line runs into the bay platform on the left. The branch is not totally self-contained, as trains using it run for about a kilometre on the main line. For this reason, a catch-point is used to prevent errant trains running onto the main line from the bay platform. Here, the catch-point has been set to protect the main line. See also Image

Leaving Truro
Mainline train to Penzance, crossing the point where the Falmouth Branch Line briefly shares the main line for less than half a mile. The lines will branch again at Penwithers Junction (SW810444).
The following information was provided by John Webb:
Note on the right signal T26 installed in connection with the recent improvements at Penryn to give a passing loop. T26 allows a branch train to terminate on the Up platform and leave again for Falmouth without being shunted to platform 1. Note too the robust modern structure supporting it compared to the older design of the further signal!
