Title: Service reduction - Coombe Junction Post by: grahame on May 01, 2025, 10:15:01 Just picked this up ... comparing the National Rail Timetables at
https://www.firstgreatwestern.info/nrtt/2024_12/141%20Liskeard%20to%20Looe.pdf and https://www.firstgreatwestern.info/nrtt/2025_05/141%20Liskeard%20to%20Looe.pdf it would appear that service are reduced at Coombe Junction from 12 a week to Looe and 12 a week to Liskeard to 6 a week to Looe and just a single weekly service to Liskeard. There's "get you there" service to Coombe Junction from Liskeard, and from Coombe Junction to Looe in the morning, but the "get you home" afternoon service has been withdrawn, as have the "get you there" services Looe to Coombe Junction and Coombe Junction to Liskeard for Plymouth connection on Monday to Friday mornings. Have I read that right?

It used to be just after 1530.

Looking closely at the NR and GWR timetables, they do seem to have a couple of extra minutes running time in the services that RTT and Journey Planner offer, so I suspect it's a typo.

(https://www.wellho.info/pix/coo05.jpg) (https://www.wellho.info/pix/coo06.jpg) So it's down from 15 round trips a day to 13 Monday to Saturday.

The printed timetables don’t appear to do so. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
