Delay repay should, and I expect does, work in the normal way - if your arrival time at your destination is more than 15 minutes later than it should have been then you are entitled to claim.

Now all day.

Cancellations to services between Par and Newquay
Due to a shortage of train crew between Par and Newquay all lines are closed.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or suspended. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Add to that that the train on the St Ives branch has broken down, and there's a broken down train on the Falmouth branch.  Not a happy day in Cornwall!

Serious enough to be reported as a "line update" ...

Buses for passengers going all the way ... "call for us to get you a taxi" at intermediate stations.

We had A message that we had ticket acceptance on our buses routes 21,25,27 until further notice this morning. I didn’t receive any further notice before I finished

The Newquay train was sent restore the St. Ives service so otherwise I think it would have resumed as originally expected.

Someone must be privy to what the problem is.

There is no Stationary train at Penryn Loo or Loop. I was there today. I gather said faulty train has been removed from the area and the environs of Truro, there's no 'out of place' rolling stock to be seen on the branch or at Truro.

17:19 Newquay to Par due 18:08 will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train crew.


Oh dear - really not been a good month for any Newquay commuters.

I would like to make it clear that when I expressed a wish for Melksham's service to rise up from being the most unreliable in GWR (Great Western Railway)'s territory (by some margin), I was not looking for some other service to be degraded the way the Newquay service has in recent weeks in order to make that happen.

Branch services Plymouth and west are going through a bit of a torrid time just now.  A real pity as we had seen much improvement over the last couple of months.
