I agree, thanks for finding that interpretation, seems pretty clear when read with that in mind.

But I don't agree that the SLC▸ (Service Level Commitment) from September 2015 will get changed. Too late for that, with timetables for December likely set in stone, except for timing tweaks. The others beyond, possibly.

Yes, I agree.  I meant the current version, as in that version of SLC3a linked to by Kernow Otter, to commence in Dec 2018, not the Sept 2015 SLC▸ (Service Level Commitment).

It was your use of "current" that confused me....

Many thanks for the feedback.  Somewhat happier with 10 each way, than 10 in total as anyone would be !

And as a minimum service provision, there is nothing to hinder an evidence based campaign to stop more services.

Happy days !

Don't forget the two each way that XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) operate as well.  Wink

These SLC▸ (Service Level Commitment)'s really aren't ever set in stone anyway and I predict several amendments before this current version is actually initiated.
It is the 3a SLC that was refered to anyway. I believe this is the one that would apply had the AT300 order for Plymouth/Penzance services not gone ahead. I don't think SLC3b (which I think is the AT300 timetable from Dec 2018) has been released yet.

Don't DOO▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).
