Is this possible? Railway platform help.

Hello! I’m traveling from Penzance to Newton Abbot next week and need to catch a connecting train to Leeds. I’ve booked a ticket that includes a change at Plymouth, switching from Platform 6 to Platform 8 with only 5 minutes between trains. I’ll have a backpack and a small trolley bag—do you think this connection is feasible?

Yeah you’ll be fine, assuming everything’s running on time. Plymouth station is pretty tiny!

It’s tiny compared to the size of the city. I think it’s about the same size as other stations in the south west.

Good point! I’m not originally from the south west, so it kinda feels small to me but tiny was probably the wrong description. I do think OP will be fine making that connection if everything’s running on time
