Title: 0812 Bristol Parkway - Taunton Post by: dmacw on June 25, 2011, 21:55:50 I may well be using this service in the coming days. What are the loadings like? Will I get a seat? Thanks

Ah yes, i'm thinking of the 0913 from BPW. Not sure what the 0600 from Exeter is formed. Title: Re: 0812 Bristol Parkway - Taunton Post by: phile on June 27, 2011, 18:09:22 Formed 143
Title: Re: 0812 Bristol Parkway - Taunton Post by: BPWuser on June 27, 2011, 20:35:01 It's usually well loaded, and perhaps once a week you might have to stand (but not a sardines situation). If you get to the station for just after 8.00 you should be first on and then you can pick your seat. (Although not today where it was late and left after the Weymouth train).
I'm quite surprised how well it's used by people changing trains. Very popular with people getting off the Pad - Swansea train (due at 8.07), and then travelling on to places like Weston SM. Although obviously quite a culture shock from a 125 to a 143. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
