At that time of day I would imagine it was the SWT (South West Trains) service that didn't run? the 1447 to Waterloo.

No, the SWT (South West Trains) service ran about 25 minutes late.

17 minutes late off Plymouth due to a delay in the Newton Abbot area on the previous journey, waited 6 mins at Ivybridge. Was cancelled at Salisbury for the Salisbury - London and a 1Z ran.

What an outrage. South West Trains should have the franchise stripped this instance! I will be doing a fare strike too!

*resists from posting something*

Got a mate to check up the actual reason, apparently there was a balls up in the rostering for this weekend as we're operating to STP schedules due to the engineering works between Basingstoke and Woking. Turns out they gave a guard a job - and he apparently didn't sign Plymouth! Don't know why they didn't pick it up earlier....  Cheesy

From Ivybridge Rail Users Group (link below) :
http://www.irug.ik.com/news/6367110450.ikml

Quote from: Ivybridge Rail Users Group
The Good News is that from Dec 15th 2008 there will be six HST (High Speed Train)'s ( 3 UP and 3 DOWN) stopping at Ivybridge. The UP services will give Ivybridge a direct service to London (Paddington) for the first time since the station opened.**  The times given at present are:- 10.01, 12.15 and 17.11 to Paddington and the down services are:- 12.07,17.10 and 23.12.

The Bad News is that these services are NOT additional and will most likely to be replacing the 11.25,13.48 and 16.59  UP services and the 10.16,13.09 and 17.58 DOWN services.

This is not good news for the many schoolchildren who travel back from Plymouth and are at present catching the 16.44 (which is late enough as this train used to leave at 16.10) will now have to wait a further 12 minutes to return home.

We hope to be able to infuence FGW (First Great Western) on the timings of their HST's before the final timetables are released.

**  South West Trains already run a twice daily service to London Waterloo

Good news.

Trains are as follows(from Plymouth):

0945 (ex PNZ), Via Bristol to London
1200 (ex PNZ), to London (often full and standing arriving into Plymouth)
1656 (new timing?) to London (often full and standing arriving into Plymouth during summer as starts Newquay)

From London:
0905 (to PLY» (Plymouth - next trains)/NQY (Newquay (Station))) often full and standing during Summer
1405 (to PNZ)
2035 (to PLY)

Personally, I'd stop the following: (approx times)
0730 from London (1025 from Ivybridge) to PNZ
1105 from London (1425 from Ivybridge) to PLY
1305 from London (1610 from Ivybridge) to PLY (PNZ summer)
1605 from London (1910 from Ivybridge) to PNZ

0945 from Plymouth (PNZ 0745) (1001 Ivybridge) to London via Bristol
1255 from Plymouth (1311 Ivybridge) to London stopping B&H (Berks and Hants - railway line from Reading to Taunton via Westbury)
1500 from Plymouth (1516 Ivybridge) to London
1803 from Plymouth (PNZ 1556) (1819 Ivybridge) to London

The 10:00 Penzance-Paddington is probably the busiest of the day, it is stupid stopping it at Ivybridge.
How did they find the timings anyway?

Presumably FGW (First Great Western) gave them some proposed times Wink

1305 from London would be good though - if the Ivybridge group reads this - lobby for that stopping as it would provide that lost 1610 service from Ivybridge for the school  Cheesy
