Title: Engineering works - shows what they CAN do! Post by: grahame on January 06, 2025, 10:30:17 Quote Alteration: 10:46 from Filton Abbey Wood. Alteration: 11:51 from Filton Abbey Wood. 11:51 Filton Abbey Wood to Bristol Temple Meads due 12:05 will be started from Bristol Parkway. This is due to heavy rain flooding the railway. The stopper from Bristol Temple Meads via Lawrence Hill, Stapleton Road and Ashley Down peters out at Filton Abbey Wood - one stations short of the potential interchange with express services to Swansea, London, Birmingham and beyond. And yet - when push comes to shove, guess what - it can run up to that interchange at Bristol Parkway. Title: Re: Engineering works - shows what they CAN do! Post by: Red Squirrel on January 06, 2025, 11:11:06 To be fair, BPW is taking fewer trains than normal today. My son is en route to Cornwall this morning, and their Leeds - Plymouth train was (we assume) diverted via Severn Tunnel, skipping BPW.

Indeed - though it's not the first time we have noted these trains reversing at Bristol Parkway, is it?
