Turns out 6:50 (1A78) was the last HST out of Penzance. It was comprised of 43093 & 43188.
End of an era, even though the Castle set will still run from Penzance to Exeter.
To answer my own question, they (Class 66, Class 73 & 2 Class 50’s) have just been moved from Long Rock depot and are currently on their way to to Bodmin sidings.
Does anyone know when the GBRF ‘fleet’ that is at Long Rock depot will be moved? Can’t see anything scheduled to go to Eastleigh Works or anywhere else that would indicate they are being moved.
002/185 should be doing the following today, assuming Realtimetrains is correct. I know the first one definitely is as I saw them at Dawlish this morning.
05:05 Penzance to 10:03 Paddington (1A75)
11:03 Paddington to 14:21 Plymouth (1C78)
15:00 Plymouth to 18:16 Paddington (1A91)
19:03...
Thank you for the detailed information. Much appreciated.
Hoping it might come down to Penzance again tomorrow (it did yesterday after being put into Laira Monday evening)
Do you know if 002 is coming back to Penzance today?
Looking at Real Time Trains it seems to suggest it may be doing two runs to Plymouth today, after leaving Paddington.
Many thanks
