Andrew Griffiths Admits New Timetable Is A Problem

Yes , you did just read that title (link below.)

Some quotes :

"Andrew Griffiths, regional manager for First Great Western, said the new timetable represented the company's first effort at integrating local and inter-city services since taking over the new Greater Western franchise in April."

"He said the idea had been to reduce the number of times people had to stop at Bristol to change trains."

"That's the theory," he said, "and it's a fine theory, but in practice, because of the proposed high speed train patterns, the local services have had to be superimposed on that and made to fit, and that's caused problems."

Now I know why at Bristol TM the staff advise if going to Bath Spa get on the Intercity trains at 00 or 30 minutes pass the hour.
