Unusual workings - abnormal terminals

« on: August 31, 2021, 11:08:41 »

Some really interesting workings around at the moment

09:16 Totnes to Bedminster due 11:19
An additional train service has been planned to operate as shown 09:16 Totnes to Bedminster due 11:19.

Any more trains running from a station where nothing terminates in a normal timetable, to a destination where (also) nothing normally terminates?

I recall, a few years ago, when there were engineering works in the Salisbury area on a Sunday, the first down Gillingham to Exeter St Davids terminated at Pinhoe due to an incident in the Exeter Central area. The service then returned as a Pinhoe to Tisbury service. That was the only occurrence that day as all other services ran from Exeter Central to Tisbury.
