Exeter St. David's Railway Station Announcements (Part 3)

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

6:08 That Anne should be on South Western Railway standalone stations

[@Ur_local_traingeek]

@parallel. can we have part 4?

[@jamiehooper5328]

Nice video of Part 3 at Exeter St. Davids. Interesting that Anne now announces short platforms along the WoMEL line and also the new GWR service to Axminster which is running 2 trains a day but could be more if passenger volume increases.

[@Parallel395]

Thanks Jamie. Extra services would be good as some of those stations get quite a poor service frequency.

[@jamiehooper5328]

@@Parallel395 yes they do Okehampton has increased to hourly and Axminster and stations between would be good to have more services the only way would be to add down loops lines that run alongside the train.

[@uktrain9646]

Hope GWR will add more direct links from Barnstaple & Okehampton beyond Exeter and fill the gaps where SWR cut services. The now 17:48 (1631 from Barnstaple) GWR to Axminster has replaced the former 17:45 SWR service (Due to SWR dropping the service as well as the 1639 to Honiton & the 1707 Honiton to Exeter fast service in early 2020). Or even better if GWR can provide a new morning service from Honiton to Exeter between the 0752 and 0916 services.

Idea for next station (Penzance or Paignton)

[@benward9191]

Hey Parallel, Is the 1E67 calling additionally at Worcestershire Parkway?

[@Parallel395]

It did indeed because not many Cardiff to Nottingham services were running

[@thetrainandbusspottertflgw3669]

Amazing

[@seandacosta]

Look Parallel. Officially, the station name does NOT have an apostrophe. It should be Exeter St Davids, not Exeter St. David’s.

[@Parallel395]

Listed with the apostrophe on the National Rail website. ‘St.’ is a personal choice to use to indicate short for ‘Saint’.

[@seandacosta]

I understand that, thank you.

[@seandacosta]

I knew the St. bit already, no need to say it, but thank you!

[@andybar1749]

Copplestone has unrequest

[@dextermak]

wait why does SWR go here

[@reecehaines395]

i love it

[@liamlive4209]

Will there be a part 4

[@Parallel395]

Not for now

[@b00108982]

Give Stratford (london) a go

[@jamiehooper5328]

Second that.

[@georgedowns4034]

Why is there a GWR service to Axminster?

[@trainvidsdorset]

It's a new service that's running between Barnstaple (I think) and Axminster

[@georgedowns4034]

@@trainvidsdorset but with only 1 a day, is there rly much point? Plus, it should go further to either Yeovil Stations

[@trainvidsdorset]

@@georgedowns4034 it's actually twice a day, and if demand picks up the service will become more frequent. It might be extended to Yeovil idk

[@georgedowns4034]

@@trainvidsdorset eh makes sense tbf

[@Parallel395]

SWR used to run this peak time extra to Axminster, but GWR have taken it over to apparently keep train crew knowledge up to date for diversions. After Axminster, it runs empty to Castle Cary and then back again. Link: www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W45741/2022-08-02/detailed
