Title: Travel from Newton Abbot to Paddington w/b 1st April Post by: warrej on January 11, 2013, 20:11:55 Hi All,
I am attempting to book a ticket from Newton Abbot to Paddington on 2nd April. There appears to be a much changed timetable that week, with a lot longer travelling times than normal. I think it is just for this week, but before I go ahead and book could some knowledgeable soul let me know: 1) Reasons for the longer journey times? I'm assuming engineering works and re-routed trains 2) Will there be a 0631 service from Newton Abbot? This is not currently listed. Thanks in advance Jonathan Title: Re: Travel from Newton Abbot to Paddington w/b 1st April Post by: ellendune on January 11, 2013, 20:20:06 There is a closure of the line at Reading due to the station works there.

Quote Booking Tickets between 28 March - 08 April Due to a temporary technical issue with our booking system, customers wishing to purchase tickets to/from the West of England between 28 March - 08 April should enter "London Waterloo" as their departing/arrival station. This is owing to the Reading station improvement works during Easter.

I'm assuming engineering works and re-routed trains The services listed are the services that will be running. There is only 1 train an hour throughout the day which means there is a reduced level of service running in the morning.2) Will there be a 0631 service from Newton Abbot? This is not currently listed. Title: Re: Travel from Newton Abbot to Paddington w/b 1st April Post by: warrej on January 14, 2013, 10:53:26 Thanks all for the answers :)
