Title: Pop quiz
Post by: miniman on July 28, 2008, 21:58:01
Two questions, posed on another forum:

1.  Maximum speeds starting from Paddington through to Bristol go like this:

Paddington 40-50-125-95-50-125-85-125-100-75-40-90-100-25-Bristol Temple Meads

At what mileage points do the speeds change?


2. How can one get hold of the freight train schedules that use the line from Thingley Junction to Melksham and beyond?

Do me proud, chaps!

Well, thanks, miniman - but I'm only a passenger, not staff!

However, while I personally can't answer those questions, I bet I know a man who can at least answer one of them! 12hoursunday posted those speeds here some time ago on this forum, so I'm sure he'll be able to help  ;D .  See http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=3105.msg24177#msg24177
