Totally agree. Tom Cairns , who runs the site , is very knowledgeable and has been a great help to me on a couple of matters.

Moving into FGW (First Great Western) territory next ...

I might as well put for the FGW timetables section "Times are approximate and swlines cannot be held responsible if your train does not appear..."  Grin

Sums up my experience with FGW!!!

Deary me, Tom is here  Grin

If some form of engineering timetables that cover FGW (First Great Western) are produced I can see it being VERY useful for FGW customers.

Well my plan initially is to write the timetables in the format I have on the site first - but after that anyone who is willing to give me a hand with engineering timetables (it literally generally requires looking at a journey planner software and ripping the info out as required!) then it would be much appreciated.

I'll see what I can do. Smiley

Out of interest, what lines would be of particular need to show? I'm not going to go into the Thames Valley area - too much work! If anyone has any suggestions could they email me at contact [at] swlines.co.uk or PM me on here....

Thanks,

Good question Tom and I suspect that you would get many different answers from our posters on the coffee shop for the route/s that they regularly use. I'll start the ball rolling in saying Bristol-London would be a good one as its very rare that the advertised service on this route ever runs. I can already hear cries coming out of Devon and Cornwall saying exactly the same thing. Where do you start?

Personally Cardiff-Pompey, that way it still interfaces with his website area base (if that makes sense?)

On my to-do now:

Weymouth to Westbury (connecting into Portsmouth Harbour - Cardiff table)
London Paddington - Bristol Temple Meads
London Paddington - Cardiff Central / Swansea
London Paddington - Penzance
and, the Triangle of Doom (Barnstaple/Exmouth - Paignton)
