Devon Revisions (14/12/2007)

« on: December 14, 2007, 11:55:27 »

From the FGW^▸ website :

08:50 Exmouth to Penzance due 12:24
This train will be started from Topsham.It will no longer call at: Exmouth, Lympstone Village, Lympstone Commando and Exton.This is due to a delay on a previous journey.

10:23 Gunnislake to Exeter St Davids due 12:34
This train will be terminated at Plymouth.It will no longer call at: Ivybridge, Totnes, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Dawlish Warren, Starcross, Exeter St Thomas and Exeter St Davids.This is due to an earlier train fault.

Why is Ivybridge starting to be affected by "revisions" since the new timetable took effect , when things didnt seem to be so bad regarding services to this station before?

With SDO^▸ , does it mean that the expresses are now stopping at Ivybridge to plug the gaps?

Very unlikely, it simply isn't important enough!

Due to unreliable class 142s in the Exeter area.

Also some services east of Plymouth ex Gunnislake are now crewed by Par drivers. Par lost their knowledge east of Plymouth in the December 2006 TT change and have not all resigned it in time for the Dec 2007 TT change :S
