Service is scrapped from the Dec 2007 TT
I understand that the set will run at 06:40 and via Bath. That's the effect of the
SLC▸ change that was around for "consultation" a couple of months ago, which allows it to start after 06:30 (not after 07:00) and cust out the need for it to call at
BPW» .
You'll notice that I have put the word "consultation" in quotes in this case. I have actually been impressed by how
FGW▸ have listened to most consultations, especially when compared with the notorious
SRA» one that - intentionally - got the minimum legal level of exposure it needed and resulted in last December's travesty on the TransWilts. However, the consultation on SLC changes was poorly publicised, and to my knowledge no receipts were even sent out to confirm that inputs were received. I certainly felt that it was a lost opportunity to add an appropriate TransWilts service back into the specification framework, and to confirm a specification basis for improvements to Avonmouth and Severn Beach - both of which have had a lot of hard work done on them, but in the end have come to virtually nothing.
