1  Journey by Journey / Portsmouth to Cardiff / Re: Arrest after CCTV of bike thrown on live rail - 7 January 2011 on: January 24, 2011, 15:39:24
I have just watched the CCTV (Closed Circuit Tele-Vision) footage. What utter idiots that are about today  Angry Sad That could have been much much worse. They must have been waiting for the passing train announcement. A FGW (First Great Western) class 158 passes through the station shortly after the sparks were sent flying.
2  Journey by Journey / Heart of Wessex / Re: Early Morning Service Formation on: January 24, 2011, 15:31:56
The 19:13 arrival from Great Malvern goes into the sidings until the 20:08 arrival from Gloucester. The 20:21 arrives from the sidings in front of the train from Gloucester. The 20:08 and 23:08 arrivals rest overnight on platform 1 and they leave the following morning at 05:33 to Bristol Parkway and 06:40 to Bristol Parkway. The 20:21 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads service is always formed of a 2 or 3 coach class 158 which is excellent as the 20:08 arrival is normally an Arriva Trains Wales class 150.
