Title: 08.30 CDF - PHB
Post by: ReWind on July 02, 2010, 21:48:06
Is there any operational reason why this service is the only daily scheduled service not to call at BOA?

Or is it just to try and confuse passengers?

Was travelling from FIT - SOU on this service today and there was no announcements relating to this matter inboard, we whizzed through BOA, to the astonishment of at least 5 passengers in the vacinity I was seated.

Not sure of the reason, but the Saturday 0830 service does call at BOA.  Only appears to be the Mon-Fri which doesn't call.

Avoids a conflicting movement with the 0541 Penzance - London Paddington at Westbury.

16:55 Filton (Abbey Wood) doesn't call either  ;)

Edit to add ... that's a train to Westbury!
