Title: Penzance to Plymouth Diagrams Post by: marky7890 on April 29, 2011, 12:36:41 Hello,
I am trying to work out the passenger train diagrams for services in Cornwall, by using the platform numbers on the national rail website for Plymouth. However I'm having some problems: It appears that the 1145 GSL - PLY gets in at 1230 and arrives on platform 6, and the 1046 PNZ - PLY gets in at 1246 and is also on platform 6. Do they merge? and where do they go? Also the 1239 PLY to PNZ starts on platform 3, and so does the 1254 PLY to GSL. I cant work out what these do before. Thanks, Mark Title: Re: Penzance to Plymouth Diagrams Post by: LiskeardRich on April 29, 2011, 13:42:59 how accurate is the source? i always thought the same train goes back and forth all day long to gunnislake, like all the other branch lines,
Title: Re: Penzance to Plymouth Diagrams Post by: bobm on April 29, 2011, 14:15:24 There as least one through service from Penzance to Gunnislake which doubles back between the Royal Albert Bridge and Plymouth. Leaves Penzance at 12:54 and arrives at Gunnislake at 15:40.

I cant work out what these do before. 1145 GSL - PLY terminates at Plymouth (1230) and forms 1239 PLY - PNZ 1046 PNZ - PLY terminates at Plymouth (1247) and forms 1254 PLY - GSL Both these services generally use Platform 3, as the connection to London tends to use Platform 4.

Nope, I meant as I said before, all of our Platforms are bidirectional. Title: Re: Penzance to Plymouth Diagrams Post by: marky7890 on April 30, 2011, 11:25:51 Thanks for that Louis94
