From the FGW▸ (First Great Western) website :

19:05 Penzance to Exeter St Davids due 22:28

This train will be started from Plymouth.It will no longer call at: Penzance, St Erth, Hayle, Camborne, Redruth, Truro, St Austell, Par, Lostwithiel, Bodmin Parkway, Liskeard, Menheniot, St Germans, Saltash, St Budeaux Ferry Road, Keyham, Dockyard and Devonport.This is due to a member of train crew being unavailable.

That's the last Menheniot train. Is the 2011 Penzance-Plymouth calling there tonight instead?

Thats easy, HST▸ (High Speed Train)'s stop there every day so shouldn't be a problem, but what about anyone who was going on to stations beyond Plymouth? or Plymouth suburban stops.

Shame there is no more detail on tne FGW▸ (First Great Western) website.

The train starts from Plymouth, but onward travel or travel to Plymouth suburban stops from stations further west would indeed be a problem.

Menheniot stood out as the only station (taking the St Budeaux FR/VR issue aside) that didnt have a later train of any description.

Well, we know the 2011 can make extra stops, but does anyone know whether it did?

Could have made a Menheniot stop, it was about 5 mins late at Saltash.

Maybe FGW▸ (First Great Western) shouldn't put that driver on lates!

Maybe he should do what he gets paid to do and turn up!

I agree Vacman, but what happens if FGW▸ (First Great Western) rightly tries to discipline him? Union involvement and next thing we know there's a strike threat hanging over us all.
