or 17 trains daily, and had been reduced to 12 by 1975. In 1984 there were still 12 trains each way every day on summer Saturdays with 11 trains each way on weekdays and winter Saturdays, although the last train from Falmouth left earlier on summer Saturdays than on weekdays. In addition there were 8 trains each way on summer Sundays with the first train not leaving Truro until 10.35 but there was no Sunday service after 9 September. By 2008 there were 13 trains each way, but with the new loop installed at the May 2009 timetable provides for 29 allowing for a service interval of 30 minutes. The enhanced timetable resulted in trains being formed with one coach instead of the former two, but the increase in demand has resulted in GWR allocating sufficient stock to enable both services to be operated by two car units from 2012. was a request stop for many years, but trains have called without being requested since 2017. Locomotives and stock During the 1960s and 1970 local services between Truro and Falmouth were operated by Diesel multiple units based at Plymouth Laira including Metro-Cammell Class 101s, BRCW Class 118s, BR Swindon Class 120s and Gloucester single units. Locomotive-hauled trains between Paddington and Falmouth were restored during the summer timetable from 1975 but ceased again at the end of the 1979 summer timetable. During this period the services consisted on BR Mk2 D/E/F coaches typically hauled by a Class 50. In the 2000s, passenger services were operated by Class 150 "Sprinters" or Class 153 "Super Sprinters", although Class 158 units did substitute on occasion. An unusual working in March 2000 was a visit to Falmouth Docks by preserved Warship Class locomotive number D821 which was renamed Cornwall alongside the Royal Navy ship HMS Cornwall Future Mid-Cornwall Metro proposal The proposed Mid-Cornwall Metro scheme would see hourly extensions of the service from Falmouth beyond Truro to and (with a reversal at ), creating a coast to coast through-service with the aim of easing road congestion for people living along the route. In 2022 the scheme was chosen to reach the next stage of the government's Restoring your Railway programme.
