Scheduled services from 9th December
« on: November 24, 2007, 12:19:40 PM »

After some confusion yesterday (when we were told that the ONLY train running south from Swindon on Monday to Friday was at 06:18 in the morning), I have had a confirmation from First Great Western's Regional Manager that the timetables as shown on the FGW site are correct and show the full scheduled service from 10th December 2007 until next May (2008)










The only major change from the 2007 timetable are the addition - THANK YOU - of a single southbound Sunday train, and the retiming of one of the Northbound Sunday trains.   The FGW web site tells up


which is stretching it a bit - we did (yes) ask for a soundound Sunday service but we also strongly asked for an appropriate service throughout the rest of the week which we have been denied.

Also note



which is highly revelavant - from 9th December for quite a long time, we have weekend changes and bustitutions which render the timetables above no more than academic.    The same comment applied to WEEKDAY services over the holiday period.

Note - I suspect a typographic error - the first southbound train probably calls at Melksham at 2 minutes to four in the afternoon, and not earlier as shown.
