It forms the 10:00 Penzance to London Paddington with a Pullman Restaurant from Plymouth.

Around 300 Standard Class seats reserved on it heading into London, so I hope there's not many people travelling without reservations or they will struggle to find a seat. Just 20 reservations in 1st Class.

Surely they'll have to declassify one of the first class coaches if they're able to do so? |

Yes, that could be an option.

Back to 1.5 first class coaches on the 10:00 today. As is fairly typical on a Friday the service is full and standing in standard (but at least we don't call Castle Cary).   Is there a speed restriction through Castle Cary due to the festival? We seemed to slow quite appreciably despite being on greens. |

I'm taking later starts this week and next, so it's my down service for 2 weeks, this morning it was so quiet coming down never seen it so empty. Mother is on that service today. Off to London for some teaching award ceremony she is nominated for. |

I'd have bought her lunch if I'd known! |

A 50mph speed restriction in both directions is always imposed during the Glastonbury season. |

I very much doubt a restriction on speed during Glastonbury will be observed.......or a restriction on any other narcotic for that matter!  |

From September I notice the weekend first rate increases to £25 from Devon to Paddington.

I wonder if they're introducing another zone, or just upping the all-four zone rate?
If the latter, it makes London/Taunton £25 too, which is a tad steep.

Could it be the reduction in capacity is resulting in too much pressure on first class seats at weekends and they're trying to reduce the number of weekend first people by upping the price a little?
