Title: Falmouth Branch and Perranwell Post by: RailCornwall on October 03, 2011, 14:06:23 Am wondering whether the Daytime timetable should be changed so that when the branch operates as a 2car and a single unit service that the 2car service stops at PW rather than as at present the 2car one way and the single the other.
So instead of HH26 to Falmouth and HH40 to Truro the service would change to HH26 to Falmouth and HH10 to Truro or HH56 to Falmouth and HH40 to Truro. Title: Re: Falmouth Branch and Perranwell Post by: grahame on October 03, 2011, 14:37:16 :o Why?
Should it not be the most appropriate train for connections in each direction? Should it not be the train which has the most slack? Shouldn't it always be the longer train so that it's providing the most capacity for the train that makes most stops? Shouldn't it always be the shorter train to reduce the operational cost for stops for just a handful of people? Title: Re: Falmouth Branch and Perranwell Post by: RailCornwall on October 03, 2011, 15:26:01 To me it makes sense to remove PW pax from the Single Car service enabling it's space to be used more efficiently for pax between the other five stations on the route.
