Tommorow my dad wants to go to Looe but the connection on the way back connects to the above train. My dad has something agains Units even for an hour long journey. Does anyone know what stock this service is likely to be formed of and how busy it gets? Bearing in mind it is half term.

Is usually 2x153's or a 150, or if the last few weeks are anything to go by then it may well be a 153! there is an HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) about 25 mins behind that one.

I know but 25 mins at Liskeard is hardly interesting.
And do you have any idea how busy it gets?

No chance i'll get my dad on it.
He won't get a seat and there is the chance of going to the pub.
