I travelled in a castle set. The station effectively replaces the pre Beeching era stations of Bittaford and South Brent (just west of Marley tunnel, which carries the A39 Devon expressway over it)
Good little video Alex very quiet station for sure but like the passes on this video, I also believe a lot of trains don’t stop at Ivybridge well a few do daily mainly Castle Set HSTs I believe. Didn’t know that GWR might be getting rid of the Castle Sets but I don’t think that is a good idea as Castle Sets are the main stopping trains now they call at a lot of stations while IETs don’t, plus GWR HSTs can fit on any station really I say this you are lucky if you see a 10 or 9 set IET fit fully on a station platform.
Thank you Al I really hope they don’t stop the HSTs because of some engineering works errors that would be unfair not the trains fault, I do believe IETs stop ivybridge but not all the time
Good video again Alex Great to see Castle sets and HSTs The reason for HSTs may be withdrawn in the report into the Carmont disaster on 12th August 2020 in Scotland See the Railway Magazine April 2022
