Frequency of rail traffic?

[whole diary]

[Chris from Nailsea]

Owing to security cincens, it really wouldn't amaze me to discover MID trains (or at least some of the more sensitive ones) don't appear on those sites

Thank you for that contribution to the discussion, Officer Crabtree. 

Actually, I agree with you, ChrisB - I would like to think that most MoD rail traffic details are not made available to the general public - but have you tried using a spellcheck facility for your posts?

... I agree with you, ChrisB - I would like to think that most MoD rail traffic details are not made available to the general public ....

And I would agree that sentiment too.   Yet at the same time, there are certain excuses reasons given sometimes for not doing things where the excuse reason given is selected to suppress discussion.

"It has to be that way for defence purposes"

"It's a health and safety issue"

"It has to be that way because of European Law"

"It's all to do with equality"

But - please - can we have the path!

... if World War III breaks out, they can have the darned path back (in any case, we would probably all be working so much harder that we caught the previous train - the 06:12 off Swindon)

... if needs must, I would be accepting of a timetable footnote that "this train may run up to 20 minutes later on up to 10 occasions per year. Please check with the journey planner 2 days before travelling".

Are there any similar issues for Ernesettle on the Gunnislake branch?

There used to be a gap in the morning (0830 to 1000 if I remember correctly) to allow a service to access Ernesettle but that went a few years ago when the timetable was rejigged to make a regular two-hourly passenger service pattern.
