That's what should happen, but these forums are testament to the fact that WMT seems to issue PF's for incidents like this, then go on a fishing expedition afterwards, I've long said that I think this will come back and bite them (WMT) on the rear end at some point. If you go back through the...

Bear in mind I work these trains daily, I'd say my point is most definitely valid. A three car 175 will be more than adequate outside of school/college times. Which service have you had to stand on? 1752050425 My point is purely related to the Exeter/Plymouth to Penzance stoppers, the Exmouth...

The admin fee for under 18's is a lot less than £150.

Most of the current trains carry fresh air about with the exception of the London services, a three car 175 will be more than adequate on most of these services, with the exception of one or two college time trains around Plymouth/Truro

Barnstaple doesn't have "big capacity problem", it has a capacity issue on one train in the morning, using multi 175's for that one train is also probably more hassle than it's worth with the short platforms, the train in question is very busy, but as long as it's a three car it doesn't get into...

We have spit kits at GWR, have had since the days of Wessex Trains, I've had to use one three times in my career, all three times have resulted in a conviction of the offender and compensation being paid to me. As for BTP presence at blocks etc, it 100% depends on the local officer in charge...

Yes, 3 minute turn arounds at each end all day, St Ives would probably be the worst line to put them on, all of the Devon and Cornwall branches are way too intensive in my humble opinion, even Looe has relatively tight timings in order to maintain the near clockface Hourly service. Gunnislake...

As others have pointed out, the ticket has to be available for inspection at all times during your journey, unfortunately, one of the most common excuses I encounter these days when asking for a ticket is "my phone's broken mate", unfortunately it appears that the op is a genuine case, but it's...

Definitely not flat, quite a climb out of st ives at around 1 in 60, then there is quite a long climb to go from near sea level at Lelant up to the cliff tops at Carbis Bay, I can't put my eyes on a gradient profile right now, but that is a good 1.5-2 mile climb at around 1 in 80 (I'm sure I'll...

I caught the 07:48 TPE which started at Penrith, everyone boarded on the North bound platform, the set then shunted northwards out of the station (I assume past a signal), then the driver changed ends and we went back through the same platform non stop and crossed to the up line!

You mean.... Common sense :D

I'm pretty sure it's a matter of consistency, you have the same types of train running through Cornwall on different services, it creates a level of confusion if you can use the first class on trains going to Penzance from Plymouth, but not on trains from Paddington... When it's exactly the same...

Spot on. Here is a copy of the internal document with names etc redacted. I don't know why people are getting so excited about it, What's the fascination with wanting to sit in a rather substandard first class through Cornwall on trains that mostly cart fresh air about?

I was referring more to Exeter - Penzance and whether the Bristol to Plymouth XC services had seen an increase, but I should have been clearer

The mainline Exeter to Penzance services are mostly dead (non London services) outside of the odd college/school kid train, so 2/3 will be more than adequate and actually easier to manage. It's surprised me how much quieter they've become even since the timetable change where the Cardiff trains...

The Okehampton's are to be 3 car 175's.

But the financial cost of a solicitor could be anything up to £1k.

I'd advise against the former at this point and advise against the latter until you've been contacted.

I think as others have said, the OP probably needs to be entirely honest with us if they want useful advice, the logistics of what they're saying don't make any logical sense, Duddeston in most cases wouldn't be the most convenient station to drop someone off, but it is, conveniently, a prime...
