3	Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Hereford - London Timetable..	on: July 27, 2009, 15:07:10
this is true as the 1915 is not a valid connection time in the fgw timetable booklet for the north costwolds.

5	Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / HST stabling at Worcester	on: June 26, 2008, 12:20:11
Rumours flying around, are that from the december timetable, FGW^▸ (First Great Western) will have its own stabling point at Worcester, to keep these sets: 1 x 165/166 3 x HST^▸ (High Speed Train) 2 x 158 This will be kept each night a worcester and form services next morning..

6	Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: 2021 PAD to WOS/Malvern (cant remember where it stops) .... a question	on: June 26, 2008, 12:17:41
This Train is always a booked HST^▸ (High Speed Train), its worked by a bristol guard and driver, and worcester buffet staff, the buffet get off at worcester, guard and driver work passenger to malvern, then empties to hereford, where it stables overnight, train crew taxied back to bristol. Next Morning Driver Taxied from Bristol to Hereford, starts train up, takes empty stock to malvern, where guard and buffet staff get on, they are taxied to gmv, from worcester.

Quote from: Shazz on February 10, 2008, 20:33:11 Quote from: Btline on February 10, 2008, 18:55:27 Quote from: Graz on February 10, 2008, 18:49:33 As I've said before I don't agree with the Gloucester / Cheltenham parkway idea at all, because it does nothing but cater for the car. I wouldn't want to have to get the bus from there to Cheltenham, I want to get a train to Cheltenham itself...and by pulling away the XC^▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) services it will have a negative impact on the town as a whole. I do agree with the Worcester parkway idea though as Worcester's centre would still be served well by Foregate street. And I would like FGW^▸ (First Great Western)'s London HST^▸ (High Speed Train) services to go to Worcester as to provide a decent service to there and Ashchurch. Quite agree! But the Gloucs Parkway would speed up services. It wouldnt make the slightest bit of difference to journey times. only 1 long distance XC train serves gloucester each day. For the exact same reason that Worcester doesnt get any XC services. Worcester Does have XC Servcies.. Monday to Friday 0540 XC Service to Cardiff Central, Starts at Worcester Shrub Hill.. 0617 XC Service to Cardiff Central, starts at Birmingham New Street at 0530 Saturday 0540 XC Service to Cardiff Central, Starts at Worcester Shrub Hill.. 0617 XC Service to Cardiff Central, starts at Birmingham New Street at 0530 Sunday 0935 XC Service to Cardiff Central, Starts at Worcester Shrub Hill 1224 XC Service to Gloucester, Starts from Birmingham New Street at 1130 Return Journey Monday to Friday 2241 XC Service Terminates from Gloucester, Forms First Service the Follwing Morning Saturday 2154 XC Service that Terminates from Gloucester and Forms First Service on Sunday's. 2222 XC Service to Birmingham New Street, orginates from Cardiff at 2050. Sunday 2140 XC Service that Terminates from Cardiff, and Forms First Service on Monday to Friday So theyre you go, any one that says no XC Services call At Worcester, they acutualy do, also i have seen a 2-Car XC 170 Stabled overnight, at WOS^» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains) Depot.. Many Thanks...

ok,well it may only just be a rumour, but there has been talk of it, i know many guards who work for great western and there has been talk of it amongst them.. and if this is a discussion site, why swear ??

10	Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / 1551 Padd to Worcester Shrub Hill, and 1850 Worcester Foregate Street to Padd	on: January 10, 2008, 11:03:27
This Service arrives into Shrub Hill at 1809, but it must start it's journey back from WOF to return to Padd at 1850,as in the timetable ! does it go into long siding at shrub hill, until around 1830 and then travel ecs to WOF

Quote from: Shazz on January 09, 2008, 12:34:28 You do know how long and pointless that would actually be if you wanted to get to hereford? Do you deffinatly run stock back that route? as it seems incredibly pointless It wouldnt be that pointless, might be quicker than using the evesham route..

Quote from: supersonic on January 09, 2008, 12:27:00 i think that their should be a service from hereford to london paddington calling at abergavenny, bristol parkway, swindon, didcot, reading and london paddington.......... great western run back emty stock back this way, so why not have a revenue service this way ? First Send their 1721 Padd to Hereford back to Bristol that way, and a few others not sure which ones..

14	Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Great Malvern services today	on: January 09, 2008, 12:37:34
ever since the new timetable came out for the great malvern to bristol services came out, i was saying to people, that they never will be on time, or will get cancelled e.g at WOF or Cheltenham... Another First Great Western S*** Service !
