This train will run short formed with 1 carriages.This is due to a passenger having been taken ill earlier.

The Falmouth branch seems to have had two 153s for the last week so a good thing in this case as one unit could be detached to keep the service going..

I suppose this will be the way forward when the Penryn passing loop is commissioned later in the year. Single 153s on the half hourly service then joining up for the hourly service and return to base at PNZ.

I believe that a pair of 153s are now diagrammed on the Falmouth branch - certainly on weekdays

Fal is booked 2 153's now, the reason for the revision was someone decided to vomit over half of the unit and therefore had to be taken out of service for heavy cleaning!
