At least the Bristol-paddingtons have, and are using a diversionary route! Seems surprising that Portsmouth-Cardiffs and Weymouth-Malvern etc seem never to be offered diversion via Melksham and Swindon! ( or is the signalling controlled by the same faulty system?)

I take it with electrification will also come resignalling which must now be due for renewal on the Bath-Bristol line as this appears to be becoming a bit of a signalling failure blackspot.

probably more to do with crews not signing the route, only a few west crew sign melksham to swindon, and to my knowledge none sign swindon to b/parkway via hullavington |

Some Portsmouth Harbour services were only stopping at Westbury , did these go via Swindon or Taunton?

Interesting to note the 1600 PZ to PADD is being diverted to call Westbury, Chippenham, Swindon.

Signals are due to be replaced between Bath and Bristol with work starting towards the end of 2010 That's a capacity/flexibility improvement, not re-signalling. |

I was refering to a memo issued to safety reps from Network Rail after a driver asked about a safety situation regarding a signal on the viaduct on the down main at Bath Spa. The memo stated that this signal would be located nearer to the platform during the Bath to Bristol re-signalling project due to commence at the latter end of 2010.
The clue I got from this memo was Bath to Bristol re-signalling
I see what's happened now, you've assumed NR» know what they are talking about - easy mistake to make.  |

Well done to Network Rail and FGW▸ for recognizing this ever increasingly popular event by suspending engineering work and laying on extra trains. Bath city centre is a no go area for road traffic this Sunday until mid afternoon so travel by train: http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Content.aspx?id=4803Network Rail have again this year agreed to suspend engineering works planned to shut down rail services to Bath on race day.
In response to runner feedback from last year, First Great Western are also laying on extra train services for local runners on race day:
08:36 Swindon to Bath (09:07) calling at Chippenham (08:54).
08:41 Westbury to Bath (09:16) calling at Trowbridge (08:49), Bradford on Avon (08:57), Avoncliff (09:02) and Freshford (09:06).
09:00 Bristol Temple Meads to Bath (09.14) calling at Keynsham (09:08) |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
