I’d have thought the more appeal to commuters (by having a 5 day service) would encourage them to try it, rather than having to drive one day, then use the train the next day etc,……
All Plymouth (HSS) Career Structure Drivers (Leading Driver, Route Assessor and Instructor Drivers) have retained Looe and Paignton on their route cards.
Some Plymouth (HSS) Drivers also sign:
Liskeard - Looe.
Newton Abbot - Paignton / Goodrington Yard.
And now Class 175’s.
Plymouth (GWR) Drivers DO NOT sign HST’s.
Penzance (HSS) Drivers also sign:
Truro - Falmouth
And Class 08’s.
So not only did the organisers state 60099 was the first of the class to run on the route (it isn’t) they also claim the FL66 only works on Friday, yet according to the online loco roster/timetable, it’s working all three days.
Website still states ‘Home Fleet’ 12082 is operating, yet it doesn’t seem to appear in the timetable/loco roster section anywhere ?????
1783444007
The loco roster doesn’t show it anywhere?
1783445843
Yes. It’s on their website (check the diesel gala page).
Go via Basingstoke, Reading, Elizabeth Line and Stratford……
But then that would take you so much longer, so just use the tube like most normal people would do. ♂️
If you are including Salisbury in your list of fatal train crashes, then you need to add the 150/HST collision at Plymouth in April 2016 and the 800/HST collision at Neville Hill in November 2019 - both of which also had 0 fatalities.
Surely any line operated by traditional mechanical signalling (those with or without tokens) and any train built in the past few years would be a contender.
