Travelled 0801 from Penryn to truro this morning and I must say I have never come across such a happy cheerful guard so early in the morning. His cheerful happiness definitely brightened up my morning. If it was any of the staff members off here thank you for such a cheery start to my Friday morning!

yes the road sign  i referred to does feature BNM's avatar. it is directly opposite long rock depot on what is known locally as "long rock road" unsure if that is the actual road name!

Yes the sign I refer to features the merlin,

Walking through long rock earlier past fgw depot, noticed the road sign for the depot has a "great western" logo on it. I.e. the one used before first were involved! Is there anywhere else where old logos can be found?

Thanks guys very useful info.
Going to make the most of the train now as once I move I won't be able to.
I'm moving to st erth, will still be commuting to truro daily, the timetable heading west from.truro in evening peak shows a gap in service from 1720 ish until 1850 ish. I can only think its a joke by fgw, as surely many commuters like myself who finish at 5 in the  main area where loads of offices are situated can not get to the station by 1720, and aren't going to wait until almost 7 for a train! It's a 25 min walk from where a lot of offices are situated, perhaps if their was a service at just after 1730 from truro heading west, fgw will see passenger numbers soar!

Thanks and that's ok to use on peak services? Purchase from manned station?

Is there a weekly fare available? Would be travelling outbound to arrive by 830 returning about 1730 on weekdays. I hold a y.p railcard. I'm moving house to a completly different area imminently so don't want to buy more than a week at a time. A daily ticket due to the peak morning is 3.60. Costs me about 3.00 a day to drive, so trying to find if anyway to find train travel cheaper. I work about 25 min walk from the station, we have a free staff car park. I'm just looking for ways to save money in anyway possible at the moment!

ok i read it as 2 x 153s replacing 2 x143s (i.e. 4 carriages)

do not acknowledge the debt under any circumstances, as soon as you acknowledge the "debt" in any way shape or form, it extends how long they can harrass you for. assuming they are chasing a "debt" they will be governed by FSA rules or something similar, which has a regulation of a maximum number of times they can call each day.

how does 2 153s have more seats than 2 143s? 46 each apparantly?

so will it just be a swap for st ives 150 for now? Falmouth packet, bbc cornwall all quote FGW^▸ (First Great Western) saying the extra carriage will be on Falmouth branch from May, until then they quote that there will be 1 150 and 1 153 as it is now!

can you confirm your source for a december start to 2x2 cars. All local publicity here states Spring 2012.

I drove southbound along this stretch of road around 7pm last night, the weather was atrocious, to such an extent i came off the motorway at j25 and visited the sainsburys for a while looking round to allow the weather to calm a little. The rain was so heavy i couldnt see the front of my car, yet people were still driving at I'd estimate 90mph. The dot matrix wasnt in use to show a lower limit (was in use on the m6 in much better conditions). As i reached the A38, the A38 was closed due to a severe accident caused by poor weather conditions

I have A level German and Spanish, so I should be covered, although I have zero intention of applying for rail based employment!

I've been getting a similar problem in the last week or so....
If i check the box that says keep me logged in forever it tells me incorrect password, If i leave the box unchecked it is fine.
thoughts are that the software doesnt allow you to remain logged in forever?
