Title: 17 46 Bristol Parkway to Westbury Post by: phile on July 21, 2011, 19:24:01 Earlier this week there were postings in the disruption section of the FGW Website of a number of short formed services. Perhaps by somebody unaware they are no longer shewn.
This service was shewn formed 1 Carriage instead of 3. I was wondering if this scheduled formation of 3 was correct as I would have thought the bulk of the commuters would be tailing off by this time, and, if correct, the 153 would be put to better use by strengthening the 17 41 Bristol TM to Gloucester, a train which, according to Yate commuters, is severely overcrowded on a daily basis.

Which 1 vice 3 would be. Title: Re: 17 46 Bristol Parkway to Westbury Post by: BPWuser on July 23, 2011, 23:29:24 This train is currently run by one of the ATW hire-in 150's, so is never a 3 car formation.
