**NEW**Service Updates / Route Updates on FGW Homepage

« on: August 04, 2012, 09:25:40 »

Noticed this this morning

http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Your-journey/Route-Updates

Has its own page above, but also shown in a simpler format on the homepage.

Looks like FGW^▸ are tyrying to improve information for customers, so you can see if your route is affected by delays / disruption quickly without using journey check.

Just need some disruption to see how it works....LOL^▸

This may have something to do with the way Network Rail releases it data to the TOC^▸ 's I know there has been a lot of work on this over the last few months

Journey Check is a direct link from these pages via "Current Train Running" at the top of every page

FGW^▸ 's website is currently showing "major disruption" on Padd-Rdg fast services and Padd - Bristol & S Wales, yet there is nothing relevant in Journeycheck and Reading & Swindon departures seem to be OK.
I can see there are problems on the Costwold line, but this is not significantly affecting the GWML^▸ .

I've noticed this kind of thing before. Is there a system fault which is producing these false messages of doom and gloom?

It's doing it again. Showing "major disruption" on Padd -Rdg fast services, but nothing in Journeycheck or Reading departures to justify it.
