With regards to Lee's excellent work on the:

Bicester Town - Oxford - Didcot - Swindon to:

Cheltenham via Golden Valley Lane or
Bristol via Bath, Keynsham & Oldfield Park or
Westbury via Melksham or
Salisbury & Southampton via Westbury & Melksham

proposed December 2007 timetable using a new London service pattern freeing up two non-intercity units from the Golden Valley Line service and redeploying 2 units set to go into storage, I thought it would be helpful to type this up... link below

Let me know what you think?

Timetable Summary:
Increases Melksham daily train service to 8 each way
Better service for people to/from Bicester
Also peak stops at Keynsham & Oldfield Park
Regular stops at Dilton Marsh, Dean, and Dunbridge
Increases Cheltenham - London frequency to hourly
Better connections from Melksham to London and vice versa
Better service for everyone in general

I really can't see where this timetable can go wrong, especially if it doesn't use any extra resources!?

Do you know what, Chris? Your timetable is, in my opinion such a lot easier on the eyes than FGW's current set. FGW's is too crowded and cluttered for my taste, not to mention the omissions and errors, but yours is clear, understandable, and nice to look at. Fantastic work, and it does Lee's great proposal even more justice.
