Title: Cross Country services 1st February 2024 Post by: Witham Bobby on January 29, 2024, 12:31:24 Family members were hoping to travel from Worcestershire Parkway to Birmingham New Street on Thursday 1st February, so I took a look at the timetable for them
I can't see that its a day where Cross Country services are listed as being affected by the ASLEF action (That's 5th Feb). But the service has been very drastically reduced. I can't see on RTT even any of the services that usually pass Worcestershire Parkway non-stop, and the Cardiff - Nottingham trains, which are usually hourly, seem to be reduced to one per two hours through most of the day Any thoughts as to why this is occurring?

Quite a few of the longer distance XC services are stopping additionally at Worcestershire Parkway instead. Title: Re: Cross Country services 1st February 2024 Post by: ChrisB on January 29, 2024, 12:36:40 However -
Quote Birmingham New Street – Bristol Temple Meads Hourly service. First train 07.12. Last train 22.12. Birmingham New Street –Reading/Southampton Central/Bournemouth Hourly service. First train 06.03. Last train 22.03 to Reading. The 12.03 to Bournemouth will not run. Birmingham New Street - Cardiff Central Revised service. First train 05.00. Last train 19.30. Title: Re: Cross Country services 1st February 2024 Post by: Witham Bobby on January 29, 2024, 14:27:33 For 1st Feb, RTT has only these trains stopping at the Midland Platforms at Worcestershire Parkway.
