1  Journey by Journey / Heart of Wessex / GWR Train Crew Weymouth on: January 04, 2025, 16:33:29
How do GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) crew the early starts and late arrivals at Weymouth please?

Thanks in anticipation
2  Journey by Journey / Heart of Wessex / Yeovil Pen Mill on: November 28, 2021, 16:13:17
Does anybody know what the problem is with the point work at YPM?
3  All across the Great Western territory / The Wider Picture in the United Kingdom / Re: New Railway Parcels Service on: March 24, 2020, 10:06:07
Did FGW▸ (First Great Western) run a parcels service from Pnz to Pad that ceased when the HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units))'s went out service?
4  Journey by Journey / London to the West / Re: Night Riviera on: February 25, 2020, 07:38:30
Thanks for your thoughts.

I thought a run round was possible at Truro, could be wrong.

Perhaps it was the lack of staff. The nearest shunter would be  Pnz or Plymouth or hire in from DBS» (Deutsch Bahn Schenker - UK▸ (United Kingdom) website) at St Blazey?
5  Journey by Journey / London to the West / Night Riviera on: February 23, 2020, 13:27:58
Hi

Does anybody know why is the Night Riviera is starting/ terminating at Plymouth rather than Truro during the current enginering work further west?

I understand it would need to return to Plymouth for housekeeping, but wouldn't a  Truro start /finish  offer a better customer experience late at night/ early morning?

 
6  Journey by Journey / London to the West / Re: Problems with the Night Riviera sleeper - December 2014 onwards on: February 18, 2020, 17:32:15
Does anybody know why the current curtailed Sleeper service commences/terminates at Plymouth rather Truro?   A Truro start/finish would offer a better customer experience perhaps.

Thank you for your warm welcome.

Fast ticket machines have been installed at most stations in Somerset with the exception of Castle Cary.  It can be very busy there, so why no machine.  Can anybody offer an explanation?
