Note the following section from this item (link below.) http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2006/12/transport_2000_calls_on_govern.html#more"Evening “emergency” rail replacement bus services have been initiated between Bath and Westbury, Bristol and Severn Bridge and Bristol Gloucester, adding upwards of 20 minutes to passenger journeys." My view is that the current situation is unworkable & unsustainable. I would call for the reinstatement of SLC1 (the pre - December First Great Western timetable) pending a review aimed at giving us all a PROPER train service from May / December 2007. |

Probably the best idea to get us out of this mess unless they really do want people to find alternatives. Who would make that decision? |

Great idea but wouldn't there be enough trains, though? I thought there was at least one gone for good, some 150s are in Wales, and FGW keep saying about how a lot of the fleet is under maintenance...
The SLC1 timetable was BY FAR the best we've seen, and I'd love to get this back.

The SLC1 timetable was BY FAR the best we've seen, and I'd love to get this back. I think that the following post by Graham may (and I stress the word MAY be relevant.) I understand (but have not seen) that a 158 is sitting out of use in the sidings at Reading, 3 x 153 are out of use at Eastleigh, and an unspecified but plural number of 150s are sitting out of use at Cardiff. Can anyone confirm these sightings, and say whether or not the units in question were in those locations prior to the beginning of last week. Unfortunately , I am not currently "out & about" so cant confirm any sightings. |
