At What Time is Exeter Central Locked up at Night? As a friend would like to film 1A40 through there on Sunday Night.

TIA

I have no idea what 1A40 is and what time it is due, but presumably it falls outside the times it is staffed, stated on the national rail website for [stn]EXC[/stn]?

Monday-Friday 05:30-23:50
Saturday 05:40-23:50
Sunday 08:00-00:05

As I know what this is, I'm afraid to say that you're unlikely to be able to get it. I'll have a great view of it going up the hill from my bed though ;)

Yorkie - 1A40 is the Night Riviera, 21:15/ 21:45 PNZ-PAD

It's the UP sleeper which calls at Exeter St Davids at 0055 to 0106 and then goes to Tiverton. So doesn't go to Exeter Central...

It's booked via Yeovil this Sunday :)

Life on here would be easier at times if people used times with headcodes ;)

You could always film etc from the roadbridge to the east of the station, but I'll let you judge the safety of that.

On a (slightly) similar note, does anyone know of hand if there are going to be any HST diverts in January by this route, like the first couple of PNZ/PLY - PADs on Sunday mornings last year for a couple of weeks?

TIA :)

Just out of interest, is not being staffed at certain times the same thing as the station being locked up?

No - trains can be scheduled to stop outside staffed hours

Trains do call outside the hours quoted - eg there's an 0009 arrival from Exmouth on Saturday nights.

Whether there's still someone around to lock up, don't know.

Many (most?) stations do not get locked up. I'm not sure which is the nearest station to me that actually gets locked up is.

All round here the last trains are approx midnight, and first around 0530, yet the staff finish earlier and start later than that so nowhere gets locked up.
