Stabled at Penzance
Roger Winnen & Roger Salter
It is very rare that these trains run to the timings advertised. On the journey to Penzance this service arrived at 02.50 hours, running 73 mins early. The return journey scheduled to depart Penzance at 20.42 was delayed by technical problems resulting in the train leaving Penzance at 22.21 following the Cross Country 22.08 service to Plymouth. However by that time the last Newquay train had run and the train continued on to transverse the Looe Branch arriving 109 mins early. Arrival back at Exeter Riverside was at 03.00 hours 110 minutes early.
