Little snippet I found on the SWRG Group this morning - I can't vouch for its acuracy though......

"From the new timetable the 1900 CDF» (Cardiff - next trains) TAU» (Taunton - next trains) will run ECS (Empty Coaching Stock) to Bishops Lydeard rather than hdg back to Barton Hill it will then run from BL back to TAU the following morning to start the day"

i cant tell yuu for sure but it has happened before.. the railtour lastmonth with double headed 37's is one example

Please note that isn't the whole timetable for the line, just the personalised output for an end to end service. So it doesn't include the early morning and late evening part services that run eg Yeovil - Exeter, or Exeter to Salisbury etc, so in particular it misses out all the morning peak local services towards Exeter...

All the missing services can be found in the normal journey planners, which have been online for a few weeks now...

Joking aside about local journeys from Feniton to Pinhoe, they are available in the peaks. But when I checked the timings of those services when all 3 stops occur they lose all the flexibility margins between the Axminster and Pinhoe dual track sections.  I guess they have gone for alternate hours normally because it improves overall reliability.

and these stations wont be losing or gaining any services its just business as normal, which i think is fair for small places such as whimple :-) every 2 hours is adiquate,hourly would be nice but im sure a certain melksham resident some of you may know would be happy with a train every two hours  Smiley

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
