Stay at home Sunday

[whole diary]

[Timmer]

GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) are saying on Twitter that the revised timetable should be available this evening as it’s still being worked on.

UPDATE: GWR are now saying on Twitter that our team are inputting the services in overnight, so the revised timetable will be available tomorrow morning.

So no change to all the other Sundays then, you will have to find out on the day whether or not your train is going to be cancelled. I guess it was too much to hope for that they could been more specific sooner to help people who have to travel with their plans.

I will say though respect to GWR’s train planning team who have to sort this all out.

And I think I caught those in mid-upload.  Some added.  Will come back in an hour or two as I expect we'll have a fuller picture by then.

Here we go, here’s a list of what not running tomorrow, just posted on the GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) website:

Thanks ... looks like my Weymouth trip is on.

Perhaps there should be a quid pro quo...

A quid and a quarter at least, surely?

Mrs FT, N! is due to return to Bristol from Devon tomorrow evening. Fortunately, because it's a lot cheaper, she is booked on XC^▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)), but I shall still have to check again tomorrow, in case they employ a lot of French or Croations.

Looking at the list provided, afternoon and early evening IC^▸ (Inter City) services out of Paddington are decimated with services to Bristol particularly affected putting pressure on already busy long distance services that are running.

Paddington today is not going to be a pleasant place to travel from. I hope and I’m sure GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) will have plenty of staff and free refreshments on the main concourse.

Maybe they could have a band playing too? Worked for the Titanic when that sank without trace.

This won’t be happening for much longer, LTV^▸ (London [and] Thames Valley) and West crews have agreed new terms & conditions which will see Sunday’s as part of the working week, something that has been discussed for a long while.  HSS^▸ (High Speed Services) crews will soon follow.

I don’t think that’s the case.

I don’t think that’s the case, they’ve agreed to ‘harmonisation’ which includes a commitment to working rostered Sundays unless cover can be found, but Sundays are not yet in the working week.

It certainly isn’t the case.  Sunday’s in the working week hasn’t been agreed by any drivers yet and will be 2021 at the earliest which can’t be described as ‘soon’ in anyones language!

Good to see the media all over it....SKY and much of the Sunday Press too.

GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) really do need to start working on ensuring Sunday staff months ahead. A lot of people still do need to use the railway for not just lesiure travel but appointments, meetings and even general work. It has gone on for too long at this point and they need to start working faster on everything.

[YouKnowNothing]

Can someone do a comparison of today against the last 4 Sunday’s to see the difference in planned trains. It seems to me that today just seems like a normal GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) Sunday service.

Or let me know where I can get the data?
