Indeed, although generally it is walkable distance - if you were allowed.

The trains worked by Pilotman from Penryn to Falmouth Town. The Pilotman accompanies all the trains along the branch.

But with 'revisions'.....not sure what that means, and they're not helpful in explaining either....

These trains had orignally been posted as terminating / starting from Falmouth Town. They have been revised to run as normal as the line is now open.

It was filmed by a freelance reporter, who was in Falmouth for another event, he rushed to the scene and got the video prior to the cordon being established.

In that case, surely something like

"This train is now running as scheduled"

would be far better?.....

All messages displayed on the website (Journey Check  / Live Updates) are subject to preset reasons that are listed on the Tyrell system (Nexus Alpha system). Free text can not be used for this section. However in this case perhaps the reason "re-instated" should have been used but this is normally used for cancelled trains that are re-instated.

Yes, I've noticed just how restrictive those Tyrell-reasons are!

Reinstated, in this instance, would have been better - even anyone seeing those trains listed for the first time would realise they were running as timetabled. Coming across 'Revised' for the first time immediately makes you think something *has* changed, when in fact, yes it had, but is ok now.

Completely the opposite meaning to a first-timer, in fact.
