Title: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: Lee on April 04, 2008, 21:30:40 From the FGW website :
19:05 Penzance to Exeter St Davids due 22:28 This train will be started from Plymouth.It will no longer call at: Penzance, St Erth, Hayle, Camborne, Redruth, Truro, St Austell, Par, Lostwithiel, Bodmin Parkway, Liskeard, Menheniot, St Germans, Saltash, St Budeaux Ferry Road, Keyham, Dockyard and Devonport.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable. That's the last Menheniot train. Is the 2011 Penzance-Plymouth calling there tonight instead? Title: Re: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: richard bickford on April 04, 2008, 22:07:58 Thats easy, HST's stop there every day so shouldn't be a problem, but what about anyone who was going on to stations beyond Plymouth? or Plymouth suburban stops.
Shame there is no more detail on tne FGW website. Title: Re: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: Lee on April 04, 2008, 22:28:43 The train starts from Plymouth, but onward travel or travel to Plymouth suburban stops from stations further west would indeed be a problem.
Menheniot stood out as the only station (taking the St Budeaux FR/VR issue aside) that didnt have a later train of any description. Title: Re: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: oooooo on April 04, 2008, 23:01:44 The 20:11 has called additionally at SBF and DPT before. Of note is KEY now has HST stop boards!!!

Title: Re: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: Lee on April 04, 2008, 23:20:12 Well, we know the 2011 can make extra stops, but does anyone know whether it did?
Title: Re: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: richard bickford on April 04, 2008, 23:42:09 Could have made a Menheniot stop, it was about 5 mins late at Saltash.
Maybe FGW shouldn't put that driver on lates! Title: Re: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: vacman on April 06, 2008, 00:30:11 Could have made a Menheniot stop, it was about 5 mins late at Saltash. Maybe he should do what he gets paid to do and turn up!Maybe FGW shouldn't put that driver on lates! Title: Re: Revision (04/04/2008) Post by: John R on April 06, 2008, 15:33:08 I agree Vacman, but what happens if FGW rightly tries to discipline him? Union involvement and next thing we know there's a strike threat hanging over us all.
