Might have a forward movement problem from the cab towards Gunnislake.

Well as Bere Alston is a reversal point, can't see how it could then go forward towards Plymouth

what would have happened dare i say it as the train sometimes struggles up the curve to gunni from calstock, so the train is terminated and starts at calstock on the backward working time. This can be caused through adverse weather affecting the track or a train not 100% well

As per my previous post you are correct unit not 100%, I was told this by the driver on it that day, it just haddnt got the oomph to get uphill and round the tight bends at the same time
