Now, if they could get the new printed timetable up on the website in PDF form that would be excellent. It's less than three weeks away - should be there.
GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) timetable change starts 1st January and even then only minor changes hence it yet to appear on the GWR website. This was put back to January in the anticipation of the completely new timetable starting after Christmas engineering works. This will be end of next year now.

Fixed now.

Trains now running normally between Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway
Following a fault with the signalling system between Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway the line has now reopened.
Train services running through these stations are now running normally.

That's the beauty of having engineers still on site to troubleshoot and fix anything as soon as it arises  Smiley

Thanks for that Bristolian...  can actually track trains using all 4 lines now, rather than keep disappearing around new Horfield Junction like they do on OpenTrain!

Off to Abbey Wood to sample the delights of the 4 tracking to Temple Meads. Humming to myself "Four Trackin'" to the melody of that colossus of 1980's popular music "Star Trekkin'".

The burning question is when will a certain comma be removed from a certain forum member name?   Wink

Oops!

Just tracked a glitch that's delayed 2 other trains at FIT!

The 1F12 PMH to CDF» (Cardiff - next trains) suddenly detoured from the Up Relief to the Up Main even tho it was scheduled into FIT P4

The 1M41 PGN to MAN then got stuck on the Up Main south of FIT while they obviously had to transfer everyone over from P4 to P2 for the CDF train (even the Trainline departures page suddenly changed from P4 to P2 which is pretty quick)

Meanwhile, 1F13 CDF to PMH got stuck at Filton Junction waiting for the 1F12 to cross back onto the S Wales lines before it could head into FIT P3

Guess ARS▸ (Automatic Route Setting) needs a bit more tweaking!

Perhaps they,ve switched it off for now and manually setting routes.

Maybe...  but on the flipside, just tracked another couple which really showed the benefit of the 4 tracking...

XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) to PLY» (Plymouth - next trains) running 12 minutes late from BPW» (Bristol Parkway - next trains), got to FIT just after the on-time CDF to TAU» (Taunton - next trains) went thru P3

The XC sped down along the Down Main slowly catching up the TAU train on the Down Relief, to the point they both ended up running parallel from Bristol East Junction into BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains), and made up 5 minutes of it's delay!

Great to see it doing it's job already on Day 1   Grin

...and becomes, if I'm reading it right, our first CFN▸ (Clifton Down station, or possibly a reference to an administrator on this forum, Chris from Nailsea, depending on context) turnback of the new regime...

Wondering if they are overriding ARS▸ (Automatic Route Setting) more today...

The 1V17 MAN to BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) was late running at BPW» (Bristol Parkway - next trains) and got switched straight from P2 to P1 to overtake a PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) to SWA» (Swansea - next trains) service due to follow in P2

Never seen them do that before without them having to wait a while first
