Title: "Devon Metro" Short Formed Trains (27/11/2007) Post by: Lee on November 27, 2007, 15:24:02 From the FGW website :
15:50 Exmouth to Paignton due 17:13 This train has run short formed with 2 carriages.This is due to an earlier train fault. 17:19 Paignton to Exmouth due 18:46 This train will run short formed with 2 carriages.This is due to an earlier train fault.

A 142 is better than short formed.

The 'Triangle (of doom)' as better known is a difficult one as some parts of the route need extra capacity at x whilst need very little at y.

Apparently the name has been used for promotion purposes in the past.

The 'Triangle (of doom)' as better known is a difficult one as some parts of the route need extra capacity at x whilst need very little at y. Here is a quote from this very forum : Tarka Line Timetable: December 2007 would be virtually unchanged. From May 2008 there will be an additional Mon-Sat train - 0940 from Barnstaple - and they are looking at the possibility of an 1140 as well, although that's by no means certain. They will also look again at providing a standard-hour timetable around Exeter with a Devon Metro (which is exactly what Wessex called it in 2003...)
