I think the 0650 is valid?

I think the 0650 is valid?

I assumed that the 0641 arrival becomes the 0650 departure as they are next to each other in the PDF timetable on their website.

Edit: on Realtime Trains for last Saturday, 0641 arrival does become the 0650 departure so it is essentially re-boarding the train.

 

[RDP]

Just checked RTT and they are different trains.

But it becomes a different service so its fine to use.

[danielhogg2005]

The 0641 arrivals was 2C32 and the 0650 departure was 1Y92 for last Saturday, and both of these was operated using 195105.
