I think they are allowed to Bere Alston but definitely not on the branch between Bere Alston and Gunni. 153's are only allowed up there on their own, anyway, fat chance of ever seeing a 158 down this way again, most drivers/guards traction knowledge has expired for them at Pnz and Par!

This is due to a train fault.
Not one I've seen too often, anyone got more info?

Might have a forward movement problem from the cab towards Gunnislake.

It would have terminated at Plymouth if the back cab was dodgy...

You never know with odd faults.
I'm not familiar with the track layout, but I suspect now it was probably an interlocking fault that rectified itself.

what would have happened dare i say it as the train sometimes struggles up the curve to gunni from calstock, so the train is terminated and starts at calstock on the backward working time. This can be caused through adverse weather affecting the track or a train not 100% well
