The 1845 is actually the 1915 from Pad - this is the one I get at the moment Title: Re: Hereford - London Timetable.. Post by: JayMac on July 25, 2009, 15:15:35 Not tstrictly true The 1845 is actually the 1915 from Pad - this is the one I get at the moment 6 minutes to make that connection at Newport. Tight! Here's hoping that ATW hold the Hereford train if the 1915 is a few minutes late.... Title: Re: Hereford - London Timetable.. Post by: supersonic on July 27, 2009, 15:07:10 this is true as the 1915 is not a valid connection time in the fgw timetable booklet for the north costwolds.
Title: Re: Hereford - London Timetable.. Post by: Mookiemoo on July 27, 2009, 15:18:40 It is according to national rail journey planner - and ive never missed it -come close but never missed it
Title: Re: Hereford - London Timetable.. Post by: IndustryInsider on July 27, 2009, 16:11:33 Minimum connection time at Newport (in common with most small/medium sized stations) is 5 minutes.
Title: Re: Hereford - London Timetable.. Post by: supersonic on July 27, 2009, 18:09:11 i've looked it up on the national rail and that is very true the 1915 gives you the connection..
confused why fgw. dont say this is not one/ Title: Re: Hereford - London Timetable.. Post by: Rogang on July 29, 2009, 22:18:27 Which is why, we in FGW control hate the 6 minute connections at Newport with Hereford line services. At least one Pad-Swa has a 4 minute 'booked connection'! We have very good relations with ATW who will hold if they can, but lots of examples of customers having to wait 45-50 minutes for the next train to the north (or taxis being provided if connection for the last train is missed)
