This train is formed from the day coaches from the Night Riviera to Penzance on the Saturday morning. After backing its train to Long Rock depot the train is split with the engine running around to attach to the three day coaches. In previous years this train has run as empty stock to Par where it commenced a service to Plymouth. However this year the train runs as empty stock from Long Rock Depot to St Erth and makes the 10.28 departure to Plymouth then it forms the 13.35 to Exeter St David's before returning as the 17.50 Exeter St David's to Penzance.
A very nice train to travel on with Buffet Facilities, well recommended by the railway enthusiasts.
