136  Journey by Journey / Plymouth and Cornwall / Re: Bad News!! on: February 05, 2009, 14:10:39
Erm, sorry, Btline, but I agree with vacman on this.

I don't understand. Huh

With car sharing, three people turn up in one car, park and take the train.

Without car sharing, three peope turn up in three cars, parking and take the train.

A loss of two spaces, and potentially six rail users. I think Chiltern have got it right.

I think its like: 3 people turn up in 3 separate cars, leave 2 in the car park, then Drive 1 to Plymouth, reather than catching the train.

The Main Line from Paddington to Penzance USED to be Double through-out except for 1 short piece that was always single.

Would that be where the Royal Albert Bridge is?

When you look at some disused stations in Cornwall some of the platforms look really low down, is this because the track has been raised?

I went to Bodmin Parkway in early December, by 9:45 all spaces were full up, and cars were on the pavements and the approach road, i had to park on the approach road too!

Thanks,

I am trying to work out the diagrams in Cornwall, from platform numbers at plymouth (from the national rail website) and time timetables. However i have 2 services left:

12:55 Plymouth - Gunnislake 13:40 (and the return service)
and
17:55 Plymouth - Penzance 19:51

These 2 i cant find where they start, are they possibly from a train which has split at plymouth?
