The new timetable starts on Sunday 13th December and is valid until 22nd May 2010. A PDF of the leaflet is available for download here  December 2009 Saltash Timetable (74.6 kB)
The main changes Monday to Friday are the addition of an extra down train in the evening peak from Plymouth. The 17:55 departure from Plymouth now calls at Saltash at 18:03 and runs through to Penzance. There are a few timing changes of one or two minutes on the down services.
For the up services it is worth noting that the 07:33 is now four minutes earlier - 07:29 - if like me you often only just catch this service you need to set your alarm 4 minutes earlier ! Other up changes are only a minute or two later than currently.
At weekends the Saturday service remains much the same (odd minute or two changes in timing) with 10 trains down and 9 back up (are they loosing one set a week into the harbour at Penzance ?!!!), and five trains each way on Sunday between about 10:30 and 8pm. The disgraceful three hour gap on Saturdays to Plymouth between 09:30 and 12:24 remains despite our lobbying - we will keep plugging away, please to write to FGW if you could use a Saturday service around 10:30-11:00 going East.

Almost all of Saltash is within 20 minutes walk or 10 minutes cycle ride from the station - it may be hilly in parts but using the backways it is a pleasant trip and gets you some of your daily exercise as well.

The new timetable leaflet is now available - the front cover is Yellow and you should put any Blue ones out for recycling immediately as there are some significant changes. The main peak hour trains remain the same, but we have gained some additional services in between. Also there are weekend changes at the end of the summer (7-15th September) so don't get caught out by those. Of course we are still seeing significant 2 hrgaps during the day in both directions and we need to see a much better Sunday service. The timetable leaflet can be picked up from the Station, the Guildhall, the Library or you can download a copy as a pdf file from here: May 2008 Full Timetable (168.85 kB) - just the timetable page May 2008 Full Leaflet (626 kB) - the full leaflet |

Its amazing how cheap it is with a Devon and Cornwall Railcard. |
