This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: St Erth, Hayle, Camborne and Redruth.This is due to an earlier train fault.

Now more cancelled. But not Truro, St Austell and Par.. Lucky them.

10:36 Penzance to Plymouth due 12:36
This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: St Erth, Hayle, Camborne, Redruth, Lostwithiel, Bodmin Parkway, Liskeard, Menheniot, St Germans and Saltash.This is due to an earlier train fault.

Incidently at Saltash and St Germans we always have a 3 hour service gap in the morning! Today it will be at least 4 hours.
