Title: Bath Spa engineering works - Easter 2017 (8 to 23 April) Post by: grahame on October 18, 2016, 07:47:52 At Easter, 2017, significant engineering works at and around Bath Spa Station will result in disruption (TPOD / Temporary Period od Disruption) - known as TPOD3.
From Wessex Railway Walks (http://www.wessexrailwaywalks.org.uk) Quote Temporary Period of Disruption - Bath Spa station is due to be clossed for a period of 3 (three) weeks in April 2017- again further details to follow - this will affect the walking season in 2017 - again details to follow - Provisonal dates are Sunday 9th April 2017 to Sun 23rd April 2017 Much more detail next month (November 2016) ... but early indications are that there will be considerable bus operations rather than trains in and around Bath, and I would expect the TransWilts to be rather busy with diversions.

Easter Day is sunday 16th Details 'from the horse's mouth' will be available early November ... there might be weekend possessions too which effect walking groups especially ...

One platform to remain open at Bath throughout to terminate trains at.
At the same time, stage 4 of the Bristol Resignalling Scheme would see a four day blockade from Bath to Yatton & Filton (including Bristol Temple Meads).

One platform to remain open at Bath throughout to terminate trains at. That was the impression I was under that like last April one platform would always be available for services East of Bath to operate as they did this year with RRP buses operating between Bath and Bristol.Title: Re: Bath Spa engineering works - Easter 2017 (8 to 23 April) Post by: DaveHarries on January 08, 2017, 20:38:24 Hi alll,
