Service reduction - Coombe Junction

[whole diary]

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from Liskeard, and from Coombe Junction to Looe in the morning, but the "get you home" afternoon service has been withdrawn, as have the "get you there" services Looe to Coombe Junction and Coombe Junction to Liskeard for Plymouth connection on Monday to Friday mornings.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?

On GwR journey planner there’s now a 1457 weekdays Coombe to Liskeard after the timetable change. It used to be just after 1530.
Screenshots from before and after the timetable change for Liskeard bound services

Thanks ... it would appear that the National Rail timetable, and GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway)'s .pdf timetables too, have service cuts, and that Real Time Trains and Journey Planners are telling us of service levels as at present, though with significant timing changes which I suspect might mess up anyone headed to or from work or school.    Looking closely at the NR^» (Network Rail - home page) and GWR timetables, they do seem to have a couple of extra minutes running time in the services that RTT^» (Real Time Trains - website) and Journey Planner offer, so I suspect it's a typo.

For the record, adding the GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) timetable up to midMay - we already knew (and have discussed) the loss of the early morning service.





So it's down from 15 round trips a day to 13 Monday to Saturday.

The journey planners suggest the 0902 and 1424 from Looe will be calling at Coombe junction. The printed timetables don’t appear to do so.
