Title: Summer Post by: oooooo on April 09, 2008, 00:15:03 I see from the summer timetable the first trip on the Gunnislake line which currently runs as far as Calstock only is extended to Gunnislake. Now leaving Plymouth as the 05:10 Plymouth to Gunnislake and returning 05:56 Gunnislake to Plymouth. An improvement to a service that was originally to be axed under the new FGW timetable...
Also St.Budeaux Ferry Road gets an additional service, the 10:38 Plymouth to Penzance calls there at 10:43. This allows a daytrip from St.Budeaux to Cornwall returning on the 14:50 or 19:05 ex Penzance.... New summer printed timetable books are available now....

In December most stations didn;t have them until after it started! Title: Re: Summer Post by: Timmer on April 09, 2008, 07:13:55 New summer printed timetable books are available now.... Good, that hopefully means they should be appearing online anyday now on FGW's website. Arriva Trains Wales and Arriva Cross Country summer timetables are now available for downloading.Title: Re: Summer Post by: oooooo on April 10, 2008, 00:12:49 I see in the printed timetables 'Coombe' has now been renamed 'Coombe Junction Halt' and 'St.Keyne' is now 'St.Keyne Wishing Well Halt', whatever next.... How about 'St.Austell Historic Sh*te Hole' ?
Title: Re: Summer Post by: Conner on April 10, 2008, 07:50:44 How about 'St.Austell Historic Sh*te Hole' ?

For some reason from Camborne station they put signs up for the twon centre, they are useless, no one goes to Camborne for the twon centre. Title: Re: Summer Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 10, 2008, 21:35:59 Ah! If those signs aren't needed in Camborne, can we have them for Melksham, please?
