Good luck to FOCAL I hope they get their trains.
I just wish we could get Sundy services at Taplow.

Focal▸ isnt the right order of the letters for starters, surely cant be economical to operate though

There's no doubt that Cornwall is becoming a nine or ten month a year resort, particularly for "weekenders". I have often watched stag & hen parties, surfers and revellers cross the bridge at Par and board the Newquay unit on Friday & Saturday afternoons/ evenings, and wonder how they get back on a Sunday. This will also provide Sunday opening for the Signalboxes too!  |

Its not really summer yet, but yesterday I witnessed about 200ish people leave the (very) crowded 10.06 ex pad service at Par to go to Newquay. The platform was jammed up with passengers and their luggage, looked like stag and hen parties mostly.

Over 100 jammed the 153, whilst FGW▸ laid on a 52 seater coach to take the rest to Newquay.

Seems a very costly move having to staff the signalboxes at Goonbarrow and St.Blazey for this. Is Looe to get an all year round Sunday service?? No extra signalbox staff required to do this so cost surely minimal???

Any truth in the rumour that the Sunday service from December is at the cost of the first weekday trip?? If true would be better leaving it as it is going back to 10:13 as the first weekday departure from Newquay is rather backward... Fab  |

From December the early morning train is axed so that the unit can be used to strengthen some services into plymouth but as a sweetner there will be a Sunday service in the winter.

To be clear, the service still runs as a bus.

Shouldn't that be AXED? (cf SHRUG)    |

Newquay Sunday service from December is looking like
Departures from Newquay @ 1112, 1510, 1730
Departures from Par @ 1018, 1331, 1630
Looks like the first Newquay departure in the week is cancelled M-F too. (obviously a bus)

Wasn't that the swap to get a sunday service in winter?
