Just been annonced that it wil be 2x 2 cars from Dec.
can you confirm your source for a december start to 2x2 cars. All local publicity here states Spring 2012. I believe the St Ives will be a 153 until spring when the extra unit arrives. |

so will it just be a swap for st ives 150 for now? Falmouth packet, bbc cornwall all quote FGW▸ saying the extra carriage will be on Falmouth branch from May, until then they quote that there will be 1 150 and 1 153 as it is now!

I was wondering, please, if the Falmouth Branch is actually being worked by 2 pairs of 153s since the December Timetable change or is there a 150/1 or 150/2 involved. If the case, which diagram ?

The standard working should now be 1 x 150 (of whichever flavour) and 2 x 153, with 1 x 153 working the St Ives branch, except during the Christmas hols where the StIves will take one of the 153's as it's deemed to be busier.

That answers the question of only 1 X 153 on one of the Falmouths today due to going onto St Ives. Is the 150 on the early (19xx) finish or the late one ?

On the days I travelled in the last fortnight there has been a 150 on the xx50 (approx, not sure of exact min) from truro, and a pair of 153s on the xx20 (approx) from truro

I expect the St Ives will be 2 cars tomorrow night due to the New Years festivities, St Ives is meant to be in the top ten of venues for New Years!

On 31st December the 18.50 Penzance to St Ives, was indeed a 150, and good job too as the Service left Penzance Full and Standing.
At St Erth many minutes were lost as Most alighted at St Erth looking for the St Ives connection.
Yes St Ives was and is an interesteng place to be on New Years Eve.
Whilst the St Ives had been stood down to a class 153 (since the Dec T/T change), to release a 150 to make all the Falmouth trains two car, it appears the Rail Partnership has some input and during School Holidays and hence University hols the St Ives will be a Class 150 and Falmouth a Class 150 and 153 service.
