Title: May 2021 Timetable
Post by: REVUpminster on April 27, 2021, 22:10:30
The Barnstaple trains have been cut back to Exeter Central and running empty to Pinhoe to reverse. If you want St James Park it's a 20 minute wait.

They must be doing something at Exmouth Junction sidings or to do with St James being unstaffed.

Driver change at Exeter Central. Nowt to do with Exmouth Junction.  The ECS to Pinhoe is for driver familiarisation in readiness for the ultimate aim of extending the public service out to Pinhoe

Why Driver change at Central.   The Depot is at St Davids/new Depot

And why the cutback to Central. If it is good enough now, why not from May?
