Any idea as to which service will be will be terminating at Penzance to stable the 80x at Long Rock. To enable the above. Thanks.

I suspect most of the 14 minutes will be made by reduced dwell times and faster acceleration at stations in Cornwall.

When I was collecting tickets today from Penzance it was nice to see 802001 sitting in platform 2.

Yes it is and you have the coast path the other side to view from as well.

So does that mean notch 5 on the power handle isn't locked out if the power cars are interchanable with the rest of the fleet.

I'm currently on 1C84 now 180 mins late 125mins is due to rail conditions in Cornwall. Slipped to a stand several times.

Having looked at the picture closely I think it is number 447.

It would be fairly easy to reinstate the curve into Yeovil Jct to make it only one reverse of direction. Perhaps a use for 442 in some form or another. (Puts on hard hat and ducks for cover).

Totally agree the cost of the call would be my last thought.

If Boris is announcing it the line will extend east south of the river terminating at Boris Island.

Keep the colour the same just have one line solid black the other one black and white.

Isn't the track charge done by axle load. Pacer class 142 weighs about 49t but only 4 axles (2car) so 12.25t per axle Class 172 weighs about 88t but has 8 axles (2car) so 11t per axle.

Out of the 22 services between Penzance and Plymouth only 7 are operated using 150's the rest are HST or Voyager. And on the services that are operated by 150's with a top line speed 70mph they are more than adequate especially on the all station stopper. The 143's operate the Exmouth to...

The OP stated "He was caught at the departure gate by an officious lady who was intent on confiscating the season ticket - regardless of proof that he was indeed the husband of the season ticket holder". So if this is correct had not yet boarded a train. So it's only attempted misuse not...

This was taken today at a very wet and windy Longrock Depot awaiting to form the 21:45 PNZ - PAD.
