The Loco hauled services WILL be running between Bodmin Road and Penzance during the closure of the line! I have been advised that all problems have now been ironed out between Network Rail / FGW (First Great Western) and EWS (English Welsh & Scottish Railway Ltd, now known as DB Schenker Rail (UK (United Kingdom))) on the operation of advertised passenger services , common sense prevails perhaps ?

Pete
Does aybody no know what locomoives and what coacing stock will be used? And if it will be used Saturday/Sunday?

Engines and stock will be arriving Friday evening from Bristol. Stock to be kept/maintained at Long Rock for the duration.
 I can't see these services being heavily loaded , because Virigin and other FGW (First Great Western) services are running !

Its only intended to cover for VXC (Virgin Cross Country - former franchise) between Penzance and Par / Bodmin Road BUT if a previous post is correct

It'll be the branch line DMUs (Diesel Multiple Unit) operating shuttle services as follows:
Penzance-St Ives
Falmouth-Par
Newquay-Bodmin Road
St Erth-Truro

so with PNZ - PLY» (Plymouth - next trains) passengers on FGW (First Great Western) services facing the prospect of 3 changes, they may use this option in preference.

Oh and printed timetable booklets are now available. Of note is most services to/from Liskeard are only unit shuttles to/from Plymouth. For example on the Mon/Tue/Weds the only trains ex Paddington through to Liskeard are the 15:05, 16:05 and 19:05.

The coaches at Bristol through road are not the coaches for the service. I think there will be 6 coaches with an engine each end for the EWS (English Welsh & Scottish Railway Ltd, now known as DB Schenker Rail (UK (United Kingdom))) Loco hauled trains. As posted elsewhere a 67 will be PZ end of the stock and a 66 off of the Local Clay will be at the Plymouth end of the train , quite an unusual formation to be honest eh!
