Title: Extending? Post by: grahame on August 22, 2018, 08:35:26 Have I missed something / not had my eye on the ball?
Quote 18:18 Warminster to Swindon due 19:21 Facilities on the 18:18 Warminster to Swindon due 19:21. This is due to a fault on this train. Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 3. From WARMINSTER? A small step in the right (extension) direction if it's permanent and can be advertised! Title: Re: Extending?

Is that specially for your lady commuter who travels Chippenham to Warminster and whose homeward journey involved a XX minute wait at Westbury because a connection was missed by a very few minutes. ;) Title: Re: Extending?

Were this permanent, it could be useful, as the 17:36 could extend to Frome and the 07:33 start from there ... except that we're in short-term-mode prior to the Title: Re: Extending?

Post by: Clan Line on August 23, 2018, 09:32:39 I am also impressed by the way that this service now arrives at Warminster as "Class 150/153/155/156" and leaves as "Class 158". This may be the solution to Grahame's query in another thread about where the required number of Turbos, for Cardiff - Portsmouth, are coming from. Arrive as a 150, leave as a 166 - easy ! :)
