Can anyone tell me what stock is used for the weekday 11.41 Penzance to Newton Abbot? Thanks

150+153 I believe.

Excellent many thanks...sounds like one of the longer journeys in the land in a 150, though I suppose realistically few would do the whole journey. Just thought if I missed the 10.40 blip from Truro to Padd, what the next civilised train would be...plainly not that one.

I've occasionally seen a 150 operate the Great Malvern to Brighton services.  The entire journey is 5hrs and 23mins.

Hell's teeth...10 more years of that now that the cuts have been announced . Any 150 fans out there...mind and pack a picnic and hip flask!

It also shows just how hard these units are worked.  In that whole day there's only one decent layover of just over an hour at Penzance.

if you miss the 1040 get the 1125 unit to Plymouth then 1255 Ply-Pad.

Beware...It seems that the 1125 from Truro is booked a single 153 only for the summer, certainly was the three days I caught it last week
A new game for the summer...sardines

Thanks all...cannot believe that a 153 would be used for that. Having missed the 10.44 in February, I did indeed get the 11.53...dreadful journey...stuffed to the gunnels, smelly and generally uncomfortable. Moral is to not miss the 10.44. When travelling to York from Falmouth, the 10.44 to Pad is the best option. No, I do not want to spend 6+ hours being shaken to a jelly with an underbody engine!!! Cascades in 2028 peeps

from 5th July becomes through train to Paddington you will be pleased to find ! (1132 ex- Truro)
