Services
Plymouth is served by First Great Western trains on the main line from London, some of which terminate at Plymouth but many continue over the Cornish Main Line to Penzance. A number of prestigious named trains operate on this route including the Cornish Riviera, a fast London to Penzance service, and the overnight Night Riviera service on the same route.
Most CrossCountry trains from Scotland and the North of England via Bristol terminate at Plymouth, although three continue to Penzance in the evening and return the next morning. On summer weekends some trains from Paddington and some from the North continue into Cornwall to serve Newquay.
Local services are provided by First Great Western along the Cornish Main Line and also on the Tamar Valley Line to Gunnislake. A number of these continue eastwards on the London route to destinations such as Exeter St Davids.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
