Just having a browse today and I discover that BUGLE has summer Saturday XC (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) services calling there. However, not the first one out to Newquay and the last one back so there isnt much scope for a Newquay daytrip. Seems rather bizarre. FGW (First Great Western) are still failing to call their last unit trip over the branch on a Saturday at any of the shacks Sad

Another point was I couldn't find a Sunday XC trip to Newquay, however I also noticed several other trains missing from the current upload. Presume just not yet finalised.

Tis an error. The passing times for Goonbarrow have been put into journey planners as station calls at Bugle

the sunday XC (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) doesn't call at Par so wont show up in journey planner if looking up times for Par-Nqy.

Such as the weekday NQY (Newquay (Station)) tram!

The XC (and Virgin before) Newquay services never called at Par, it is remarkable that this year they are showing as a stop at Par on Saturdays! The Bugle stop is in Avantix (Ticket Issuing System used on board trains) aswell, maybe it will be a stop???
