It would have been an Exeter crew, the line is shut today between St Austell and Penzance due to engineering work hence the train terminating at St Austell!

And no major bends and an easy and cheap solution to find two trains to work the branch, I'm all for it... Wat d'ya think Mr Haines?? Anyway, has Penryn loop been put back another 12 months yet or do they still think it'll happen??
