Hello all,
My name is sumila (Not really, but as a Network Rail Signaller working within the region your group represents, I will not be giving my real name for obvious reasons - so Sumila it remains!)
I totally agree with the aims and objectives of your organisation, as do a great deal of my colleagues - managers included, although they have to be more diplomatic! Not a lot else to say on this occasion. I'll read up on the posts and feel my way.
Regards, Sumila

Welcome on board, Sumila; many thanks for your knowledged words of support; we certainly appreciate them, and would also be very happy to hear (example) comments on various ideas ... practicallity based on line capacities, robustness, etc. Better to do the pushing that we can (but you can't) do towards a goal that can be met than one that can't.
One of the things that I've been very much struck by during this campaign is just how much everyone seems to be "on side" - and that includes people a long way up various chains, as well as the crew on the ground!

Hi , and welcome. May I ask you a question? Here is a quote from the First Great Western Coffee Shop Forum : I notice that from December the Beach line service is slightly improved in the morning peak with the addition of 2 or 3 extra trains to/from Avonmouth but nothing in the evening peak though!
I do fear that this might be as far they go with service improvements though. A 40 minute frequency service would require different timings on different hours , and as you can see from the quote below , FGW were struggling to path December 2007 trains on the main line section. Mind you , according to the previous draft copies of the FGW December 2007 Timetable that I have , they had to change which services called at Stapleton Road & Lawrence Hill at least twice , plus their timings , because they were having real problems with pathing. This is illustrated by the small print at the bottom of page 11 of the link below (Andrew Griffith's 22 May 2007 analysis , which starts from page 10.) : http://www.wellho.net/wccfoi/wccfgw3.pdf"Pathing problems preclude the northbound service from calling at Lawrence Hill and Stapleton Road; instead these calls are included in the Cardiff service." Also , similiar pathing problems have probably caused the radical change in Severn Beach Line timings (link below.) http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Documents/Custom/Dec%2007%20Bristol%20to%20Severn%20Beach%20Mon%20-%20Fri.pdfAre we right to be concerned , or have FGW and Network Rail got a 40 minute frequency Bristol - Avonmouth service all sorted out and ready for May 2008? |
