As the PDF size is almost twice the current one there must be lots of engineering work

I bet he buys those big timetable books you can get on Amazon and at WHSmith with every station in them!

And, bringing up the rear, the one we've all been patiently waiting for:

How did you guess  ;)

BTW. FGW timetable link added to the list at the top of the thread.

Yes just managed to get them in before close of play. Sadly one of the last TOCs to do so by the looks of things. XC had theirs up weeks ago.

It'd be nice if FGW also put a .pdf of the Reading Blockade timetable on the website, rather than leaving pax to rely on the Journey Planners.

Yes it would be nice. Can't be much longer now before they become available.

We the staff haven't even got the RDG WTT's yet.
Supposed to be sending a group of staff down to Waterloo, which will be fun to work out and give the staff notice without a timetable!!

I had been wondering about the despatch arrangements for the HSTs into Waterloo (and at Basingstoke for that matter) during the blockade. Will this be handled exclusively by drafted in FGW staff?

Shouldn't imagine there are many SWT staff at BSK and WAT with experience of doors that don't shut by themselves!

There will be a FGW team of specially selected 'victims' or volunteers who will go to waterloo. The reservations will be sent over that morning by taxi.

At WAT the dispatch staff from Paddington will come to Waterloo to despatch. At BSK staff there are being refreshed / trained by having a day out at Didcot.

Only those who've been there more than 5 years or so, I'd have thought?
Desiros are 2004/5 entry into service, but it took a while before the last slammers finally left in 2006 or so.

There will be Xmas TTs for the reading blockade - I'm expecting to see the pdf file next week, and the booklets before the beginning of December.
