So, you think that the DfT» (Department for Transport - about) have the Summer Solstice as the cut off date before they start publicly kicking FGW▸ (First Great Western)'s butt?

June 21st by the way.

The seasons tend to legally follow the equinoxs & solstices.

No, I think they've been given an extension actually - the DfT / ORR» (Office of Rail and Road formerly Office of Rail Regulation - about) just didn't feel it imortant to tell you....

Hmm...

I'm not aware of any 'legal' instrument that refers to seasons.

Yes, I know. I'm a pedant.

Yep that is one way to define seasons. Another way is meteoroligically which defines Spring as March, April and May. But it would be a bit harsh to argue over 21/22 days.

So, either way, FGW▸ (First Great Western) are still within their deadline, without any extension?

You may well be right, ChrisB. But there is nothing in the public domain from DfT» (Department for Transport - about) (as far as I can see) that would confirm the extension to 'Spring 2011'. If there is, and you can provide a source, then I'll graciously defer.

In the meantime I'll wait for my FOI▸ (Freedom of Information) response.

Are extensions usually published by the DfT» (Department for Transport - about)?

Well, they gave one to CrossCountry re: WiFi. With dire threats that they failed to follow up on. But then there was a change of Govt. in the meantime.

Apologies for not finding a direct link to the DfT» (Department for Transport - about), but I've no reason to disbelieve The Telegraph. After all, their journos don't, as far as I'm aware, publish stories based on unsubstantiated internet forum chatter.  Wink

Exactly. I don't think the DfT» (Department for Transport - about) do put these types of extension on their website, so the FGW▸ (First Great Western) one won't be there either. Not everything is.

But I agree your FOI▸ (Freedom of Information) should produce one, if they think 'Spring 2011' is in the past.

Was at Twyford today and plenty of telnet people working.

The old system has been removed and they were working on fitting all the new cables and brackets.

Hopefully should be up and running soon!

Hopefully. The old system at Twyford hasn't been working for a least a couple of months. It has caused problems in the evening when the relief lines have been closed and people didn't realise the need to use platforms 1 and 2 until the train pulled in.
