Not tstrictly true

The 1845 is actually the 1915 from Pad - this is the one I get at the moment

6 minutes to make that connection at Newport. Tight! Here's hoping that ATW^▸ hold the Hereford train if the 1915 is a few minutes late....

this is true as the 1915 is not a valid connection time in the fgw timetable booklet for the north costwolds.

Minimum connection time at Newport (in common with most small/medium sized stations) is 5 minutes.

Which is why, we in FGW^▸ control hate the 6 minute connections at Newport with Hereford line services. At least one Pad-Swa has a 4 minute 'booked connection'! We have very good relations with ATW^▸ who will hold if they can, but lots of examples of customers having to wait 45-50 minutes for the next train to the north (or taxis being provided if connection for the last train is missed)

Most have a long dwell time at hereford so if running to time can afford to be held

Interestingly - I once missed a 1030 connection at hereford to ludlow and the last train was 1130 - it was a friday night and pissing down

The FGW TM^‡ to whom Im extremely grateful to this day - arranged a taxi - one hour on a friday night - in the rain for a solo female passenger?
