| A journey in the faaar west - Penzance to St Ives - 28th Jan 2025 Posted by grahame at 20:11, 30th January 2025 |     |
Once a train or bus service gets to a certain frequency, it becomes "turn up and go - don't worry about the timetable". And so it was on Tuesday on the middle-of-the-day trip from Penzance to St Ives, changing at St Erth along the way. Trains leave Penznce every half hour ... and I'm not exactly sure which we got on. And connections at St Erth run every 30 minutes to St Ives. The rail industry acknowledges this at St Erth by telling you that the "connection" really isn't - that the branch train won't wait, and explains there'll be another along in half an hour.
