Excuse me if this has already been discussed. I note from artist impressions, and photos of units in service on the Continent, that each car of the new Flirt EMUs and DEMUs will only have one door. Is this correct? If so, I must ensure that I do not travel in the section next to the driver in...

Apologies if this has already been the subject of a thread. I see that the May 2016 timetable shows a Saturday 17:50 working from St David's to Penzance as last year. Is this still going to be loco-hauled? I cannot see the westbound working from Par in the morning that ran last year. Is this...
