19:51 tonight (Sunday)
« on: February 18, 2007, 09:04:46 PM »

I have to admit .. slightly surprised at 3 off and 1 on, on tonight's 19:51 service.   And about a dozen or so remained on the train too.  "One swallow doesn't make a summer", but not as quiet as I would have feared.   I mighth have got on and gone up to Chippenham to find out what their journeys were, except there isn't even a bus back on Sunday and (yeah) I was meeting some of the people getting off.

And the 21:44 had 2 off and none on, which left 3 people in a 2 coach 150 (+ 2 staff) heading for Chippenham.  Again, I was down there to do a "meet and greet" so my customer skews the stats.

By the way ... he came from London.   And the only way to do it was change at Bath and Trowbridge ....

Ah - I wondered - ECS to Westbury is that?   If so, would it cost any extra to shedule and stop it?

In THEORY it would not cost a penny, as the guard also goes back with it

One to put to Andrew Griffiths on Monday perhaps?

James can you clarify what ECS stands for - I'm guessing Empty Coaching Stock??

Thanks
