4K Exploring Cornwall || 6 - The Journey Home || Penzance - London

Several years (and a lockdown) in the making, I made my way down to Cornwall to take in some of the stunning routes and scenery of the area. Shot across a long weekend in the summer, the series is split into a number of parts.

Part 6 covers the final hurrah. Join me on a rail journey from Penzance to London on a Class 800 Intercity Express Train. We travel the length of Cornwall and into picturesque South Devon. Hurtling along the historic Hants & Berks line and passing the Thames Valley by.

As journeys home go, this one looked interesting and relaxed. Thanks for all the additional information titbits - just the right level

WOW! I loved being with you on that fascinating train ride from Penzance to London. The Cornwall and Devon counties, and adjoining areas
have always appealed to me. I've never been to England, although I have done a two week pilgrimage to Scotland as my dad was from Dundee.
But after your video that south west corner of the UK still rates high in my plastic bucket list of must do destinations before they measure me
up for my last journey in the polished pinewood box. I'm in south east Queensland, and love the train journeys on YouTube, but particularly
from the UK, having given rail transport to the world. I look forward to more adventures with you, albeit from your collections.

Aw sad to see the end of the series it was lovely! Makes me excited for me trip to Cornwall in April! :)

Cornwall is unique in Britain as a single main line corridor (leading to a dead end) from which there are numerous dead-end branch lines, and every single one of them leads to a picturesque environment, mostly idyllic coastal towns.
