Great Western Railway Trains at Truro on August 16th 2019

2nd visit to Truro station on the Cornish Main Line and 1st since October 5th 2018 and also the terminus of the Maritime Line from Falmouth Docks.
Truro first opened in 1859 by the Cornwall Railway when it was extended from Plymouth.
The Falmouth Line or Maritime Line opened to Falmouth docks in 1862 with GWR services today providing a half hourly service Monday’s - Saturdays and hourly on Sundays formed of Class 150/2s.
The Half hourly services were added in 2009 following a remodelling of a passing loop at Penwyn.
However to work effectively turnaround times average 4 minutes at Truro or Falmouth Docks
Services via Platforms 2 and 3 to and from Penzance provided by local stopping services from Plymouth and Exeter St Davids served by Class 150s, 158s and Castle HSTs.
The Class 802 IETs began running in August 2018 now provides the long distance services from London Paddington which took over from the HSTs on May 18th 2019 although occasionally Class 800s can run down to Penzance. Like the 802s in 5 car formation which occasionally divides at Plymouth or 10 car all the way down or 9 cars either 800/3s or 802/1s.
The semaphore signalling system still operates from nearby Truro signal box however at the time of filming was been resignalled and the semaphore signalling being phrased out.
