95% confirmed.

The peak services would stay the same but there would be a two hourly service inbetween - the main effect would be to provide two good shopping trains into Plymouth, rather than the one now.

It would be the best ever service to Gunnislake if it comes off.

Sounds very positive  Smiley

Is it being modelled with a future Tavistock service in mind, or is the planning "standalone" for the time being?

Standalone at the moment Lee.   I think Tavistock would open with at least an hourly service if all the plans come off.

This train will run short formed with 3 carriages.

Would be impossible as a 153 isnt passed for Gunnislake if coupled to something.....

Are 158s allowed?  One of the 3 car flavour? (Yeah, I doubt it!)

Probably not allowed as it is techinically coupled which I believe is banned.
3-car 158's or any for that matter would not make onto that diagram as they struggle to make it onto their booked ones.
