Title: Spot the errors
Post by: JayMac on February 16, 2013, 13:42:01
These are the schematics from the Easter 2013 timetable booklet 1 (http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/~/media/PDF/Planned%20Changes/Feb%202013/Book%202%20web.ashx) and booklet 2 (http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/~/media/PDF/Planned%20Changes/Feb%202013/Book%201%20web.ashx) published by FGW:

Truro has become Taunton and Gloucester has become Worcester. How bizarre.

Taunton and Worcester - so good they named them twice!  ;D

Of more concern is I went to the station specially to get them and didn't notice til now!

They obviously opted for safety on the booklet for the Cornwall blockade which starts today - there is no map on the front!

I saw the Taunton one last Sunday - I was wondering how long it would be until it appeared on here  ;D.

For the period of that timetable it is correct, services will call London, Oxford then Swindon.

I agree in partial with that. Perhaps a note to say this is the amended train/station running during the East Reading Blockade?

Although that Truro/Taunton mistake is a basic, schoolboy error... ;D

Well that is kind of the point of the replacement timetable ;)

Presumably also the Worcester that is between Swindon and Cheltenham or is ther some other diversion that I am not aware of.

Presumably that Worcester is meant to be Gloucester.

FGW have published an amendment which acknowledges the error in booklet 1, but not the one on the cover of booklet 2.
