Pocket timetable - an odd Bristol to Cardiff train to show?

« on: January 29, 2012, 19:38:50 »

Why does Cross Country's 05:19 Bristol Temple Meads to Cardiff appear on FGW^▸ 's pocket timetable number 1, whereas all the FGW services that run this route coming up (for the most part) from Taunton or Portsmouth are not listed?

Goes via Bristol Parkway I would assume.

Another gripe about pocket timetables why aren't the Reading Slough Padd fasts shown in the TV local timetable

Probably to try and discourage people using the fasts that don't actually need them when a suitable service already exists. Keeps the fasts less busy for those travelling further I assume
