Never thought I’d see the day.   Well, the December timetable change was on the 10th and there are still Castle sets in service currently.  There are now 3 diagrams Mon-Fri & Sat for the Castle sets (none on Sundays) until the June change. They are now all concentrated exclusively between Penzance & Plymouth bar one extension to Exeter returning ECS and the opposite on Saturdays (ECS to Exeter, returning in service). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
