Was done to save time, passengers for Dockyard and Devonport were asked to alight at Keyham and wait for the following 14:24 ex Gunnislake service.
I expected there would be some logic applied ... but was scratching my head until you follow up. Thanks! It sounds like sense. |

People at Keyham weren't told that, like me! |

That train was caped due to a rostering error! they had marked a guard down to work overtime without actually telling him! another classic Swindon cock up!!!!!! |

Wouldn't worry too much, the service is so crap that literally noone uses it! and Par-Nqy is quicker by bus than by train! The crap service on the line was cut by BR▸ though in the 80's and been the same ever since! Cornwalls second largest town and only 4 trains a day with a 6 hour gap in the afternoon!

Hit the nail on the head there. Despite AWFUL signposting its so much quicker to drive to Newquay (despite the awful signposting  ) Network Rail needs to invest in the line considerably if they wanted to make it viable. All it needs is a pacer, but obvsiouly they can't go on the line so that mean the 150 that is needed on the Triangle is running virtually empty through Cornwall when it could be busy on the busiest routes in Devon and perhaps Cornwall! |

If it's any consolation the Newquay 150 is used on the morning and evening peak Gunnislake services, hence the large gap in the afternoon and no train til 1018 in the morning and the Gunnislake is very busy in the peaks.

the 11:24 PAR to NQY▸ , 12:42 NQY to PAR and 14:00 PAR to NQY were also cancelled along with the mid morning trip on the Looe branch due to conductor shortage... |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
