Title: Re: Short-Formed Trains (18/10/2008) Post by: grahame on October 18, 2008, 11:00:34 On a Saturday at this time of year, will the use of a 1 coach train on Bristol to Avonmouth / Severn Beach, Truro to Falmouth, or St Erth to St Ives cause overcrowding? Will the use of a carriage with door at the end only cause significantly extended station stops to the detriment of timekeeping?
