From Saltash Rail Users Group (18/05/2008) :

Quote from: SRUG
The new timetable starts today. Our first extra train was the 0920 to Penzance earlier today. From tomorrow we gain the three extra weekday services.

Eastbound at 1329
Westbound at 1409 and 2036

A new Saltash timetable is now available, with healthy stocks in the Guildhall and Library. I will keep the station stocked when possible. This timetable has been produced with sponsorship from Passenger Focus - www.passengerfocus.org.uk

If you think of somewhere that could do with a pile of them then please grab some from the Guildhall, the wider they go the better.

I spotted a couple of mistakes in the timetable, no note about the dated Newquay services!

Think I have found it. I am going to blame my interpretation of the FGW timetable. Page 16 seems to indicate a connection from the 1506 from Paddington. The 'e' referencing 'Connections applies 30 June to 5 September' put me off the scent.

We will put up notices to indicate other options...

I think Vacman was referring to the 18:26 only running to Newquay for part of the period, terminates Liskeard peak summer and is not indicated.

Also the 10:47 on the down calls Ferry Road so should be ---B   

Also why show Menheniot and not St.Germans? Have never seen a passenger travel MEN to STS while there is a sizable flow just between STS and SGM.

Another part shows the 1454 NQY running full period, it doesn't run in Jul/Aug, it's replaced by 1504 Nqy-Padd, just me being nit picky.  Grin

Yep, hands up, a few little mistakes. I will put it up here first in December...

Not too worried about the 1454 NQY, too much, people may turn up a little early. All weekday trains call St Germans, in fact all trains call St G apart from our down 1045 on a Saturday as the Saturdays have rolled over from last summer, hence not listing St G. It is mentioned in the notes section.

It is the 1826 that I refer to as my poor interpretation of the timetable, and I will put out an email and post a notice at the station regarding the Newquay connections.

Roll on a Monday to Saturday timetable, it will make things a bit easier.

Apologies for the mistakes, we all make them.
