3Q50 Exeter to Penzance Question

[46026]

Good evening all,

Tonight (Tues 10/03/26) top and tail 37s are booked on the 3Q50 2333 Exeter to Penzance arriving 0708. Does anyone know if it stays in the station for the day before returning the following night or does it go to the depot? Many thanks.

I'm fairly sure it goes to Long Rock as all four platforms are shown as having trains in and out of them during the day although there's no movements shown on RTT ( unfortunately Open Train Times doesn't have a map for Penzance yet.. does anyone know if the engineer's siding on the seaward side of the station is still extant? ); incidentally there's a 3Q53 back to Exeter at 22.32 which is almost certainly the return working.

It stays in station as per many photos online. There has only been one 37 working within Long Rock in over 6 years and that was to deliver 175010 recently !

Thanks for the replies, I will have a train ride down and see if I can get any photos.

Can confirm upon arrival the 37s are in the sidings next to platform 4, easy to photograph 37425 from the platforms and 37607 from the carpark. Also present at the station were 175002 175007 800008 802101 220026
Passing Long Rock Depot i could see 08836 and 175010.
