Title: Tall ships Falmouth 2021 Post by: FarWestJohn on December 08, 2020, 17:24:58 In the past with large events in Falmouth the branch service has been increased to three cars, a 150 and 153 with crowd controls at Truro and Falmouth.
Now all the 153s have left the region I wonder what the plan will be for next year? I do not know if the platform lengths can accommodate 2 X 150 especially at Penryn. Will there be 3 car turbos available and cleared for the route? Title: Re: Tall ships Falmouth 2021 Post by: RailCornwall on December 08, 2020, 22:09:32 There are still lots of questions over the event at present. The length of the preliminaries to the start being one. The start of the race being midweek (Wed) will reduce numbers significantly too.
Whether there'll be the 'party' and open ships of previous occasions is unclear and be dependent on how things are in the run-up. There are lots of C19 caveats in the advanced publicity as well. Title: Re: Tall ships Falmouth 2021 Post by: REVUpminster on December 09, 2020, 07:30:46 There should be 165/166s available. Exeter should be getting at least 4 this weekend to replace the eight 143s due to go at the timetable change.
I hoping someone here in the know posts the event or GWR does on it's website. Title: Re: Tall ships Falmouth 2021 Post by: ChrisB on December 09, 2020, 11:28:25 Are 165/166s cleared to use the Falmouth branch?
