Hopefully just teething troubles. Travelling FIT to BTH» (Bath Spa - next trains) and when I checked online, timetable said 0753 to arrive 0830ish. Myself and other passengers in a panic when waiting and checking the online live departures as these suddenly claimed that there were only deps from BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) at 0745 and 0906

The services to Bath are running though - it looks like National Rail is showing final destinations as the intermediate stops (Keynsham and Oldfield Park).  Not sure why this is? Feeling sorry for the platform staff today

Yes - I noticed this, or what I assume is related (and overheard a conversation between passengers about it too).

I found it very hard to describe what was going on though. What was happening (for me) was that searching for BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) - BOA times on nationalrail.co.uk - NRE‡(resolve) gave one an hour yesterday. Same when searching BRI - BTH» (Bath Spa - next trains). Whereas the timetables, FGW▸ (First Great Western) website (and NRE last week) gave the full range - 7 between 1600 and 1800 inclusive.

Seems to be what I would expect today when having a look. [Although the service that did appear yesterday (1752 BRI-BTH) is not shown for going on to BOA as the next train connects with the same bus.]

If you followed that - well done!  Undecided
