The train is taken out of the station for complicated manoeuvres to get City
of Truro on the other end

After our trip to Cholsey, we wait on the platform as trains on the mainline go
by.

With a diesel having taken the carriages out of the way, City of Truro
leaves the platform.

Henry watches as water pours in through a gate paddle into the lock with its
scalloped edges

Below the lock is a lift bridge so there is lots of activity when there are
boats about

A short stroll downstream brings us to Padworth lock
