Title: Heard of maximum speeds ... try minimum ones? Post by: grahame on June 26, 2010, 21:56:22 Quote 20:18 Taunton to Cardiff Central due 22:29 This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Filton Abbey Wood, Patchway and Severn Tunnel Jn.This is due to speed restrictions. Last Updated: 26/06/2010 21:35 Err ... minimum speed restrictions ;D ;D I'm scratching my head - "due to a delay on a previous journey - making up time" perhaps? Is there a story behind this one, or just a report that can be read in a slightly amusing way (but no doubt frustrating to 7TJ passengers ...) Title: Re: Heard of maximum speeds ... try minimum ones? Post by: inspector_blakey on June 26, 2010, 22:02:20 I'm guessing that's the reason: could have been delayed by speed restrictions earlier, now skipping stops to make up time and avoid further knock-on delays.
