1A80 0815 Penzance to London Paddington
08:15 Penzance to London Paddington due 13:29
08:15 Penzance to London Paddington due 13:29 will be terminated at Truro.
And it's a two car unit.
Guessing it will go on to the Falmouth branch
Will be restarted at Plymouth.

The hiatus of cancellations and short running of services due to train crew shortages after three weekends of nigh on 100% of services running has sadly come to an end today.

What have we learned from these past weeks? That GWR (Great Western Railway) really DO have enough train crew to run the timetabled serviceā€¦IF the price is right.


On Sundays, yes.

Also the rest of the week if correctly diagrammed.

Or for example...

The TM (Train Manager) to work it was on 1L32. That was stuck outside waiting a platform. Not for the first time a Mexican stand off at Swindon!

It will be well used and I doubt I'll ever get any delay repay compensation.

A lack of shunter at long rock was the issue this morning.

The 2 car unit used on the Paddington as far as Truro was stabled in the station overnight- no shunter required this morning. It was utilised in service instead of running empty in the running space of the IET (Intercity Express Train)
