Notes :
(1) 'Party B' to leave the train at Plymouth for road coaches to Phoenix Wharf from where the 'M.V. Western Belle' would then sail (at 13:30) to Calstock from where passengers were to rejoin the train (in time for the optional run to Gunnislake and back if desired).
(2) 'Party B' to leave the train at Calstock (or remain on board for an optional run to Gunnislake and back) then catch the 'M.V. Western Belle' (departing 15:15) to Phoenix Wharf in Plymouth from where buses would ferry the passengers to Plymouth railway station.
(3) Passengers not wishing to take the sailing in either direction were able to remain on the train and spend their time in Bere Alston, Calstock or Gunnislake.
(4) This trip was a repeat of that advertised to run on 22nd July; at the time of advertising seen by the Webmaster, prior to June 30th, 'Party B' was already fully-booked for this second trip.
