It must be borne in mind that the revision of HST^▸ 's stopping at 'small' stations' are not extra services for these stations but in the main are replacing previous DMU^▸ services. If the HST's did not stop at these stations the services would be lost. I am sure most of us would not like to see reductions in services anywhere on the line.

But in a realist world what is the point of stopping certain services when nobody will get on or off?

1703 ex Paddington - 4 off 1 on at Saltash last night. Train was stopped for less than 40 seconds and the TM^‡ did not get out of the train. From the carraiges that I saw, there were not many on the train.
