Title: Any major engineering works over the xmas/NY period? Post by: Mookiemoo on October 02, 2009, 15:45:24 I've just been asked by current client will I cover the period between xmas and new year - I dont mind since I just had three weeks off!
That is, however, assuming I can get from ludlow/worcester/kidderminster to wokingham reliably. Does the panel know what is being planned and how bad the disruption will be.

I was going to - but since my net connection is patchy this weekend (BT doing some upgrades and other crud ti the exchange) I thought it might be easier to do it this way since I need to confirm on Monday!

It's too early. None of the TOCs for your intended route(s) have info that far ahead yet. NRES also not showing any works yet. Maybe some 'insiders' on the forum will have some better info......

Post by: willc on October 03, 2009, 13:49:40 Okay, there's nothing taking place along the Cotswold Line over that period, however, looking at the FGW journey planner, it would appear that due to the Newport situation, the two trains from Hereford won't be running from December 28-31, due to not being able to get the HSTs up from Bristol, so your only WOS options will be the 05.02 and 05.35, or the halts train at 6.53, with an Oxford change as well as Reading in that case, then nothing until the 09.12, also a Turbo.
You fare better in the other direction with 27 minutes past the hour trains from 16.27-19.27 from Wokingham, plus a 17.57, connecting at Reading. But the 16.27 is also two changes as it connects to the return halts service from Oxford. Hope that helps.
