That sounds good!
But the 1730 comes from weston super mare now i think, so would that put a hicup in that idea?

Thanks Lee

I dont mean make the 17:30 a timetabled stop or anything, It's just happened a couple of times to me before the new timetables came into effect.

It's silly. If i'm going from bristol to bath spa, i usully get the 17:30 HST▸ (High Speed Train). If i'm trying to get to Oldfield park, i dont even bother trying to get on the 17:22 to portsmouth habour, due to it usully packed, and depending on how many passengers there are, a couple of times, they get the 17:30 to stop at keynsham and Oldfield Park, it works fine! so where is the logic in not stopping a service in the morning!?

I also feel that the decision to stop intercity services at Keynsham but not at Oldfield Park in the morning peak has been ill conceived and taken without realising how this has further antagonised and alienated the commuters at busy Oldfield Park who now have a longer wait between services in the morning and suffer seeing the intercity service go through without stopping.


You've hit the nail right on the head there, why stop a High Speed Service at Keynsham but not oldfield park? Even just one could proberbly relieve some of the strain at oldfield park in the mornings

I'm sorry now if my next couple of posts sound stupid or anything, i'm just trying to get my head around all of this.

Do bikes have to be at the front or back of the HST▸ (High Speed Train)?

Depends which power car is on/of the platform where you get on or off........


There is no simple rule

I still do not understand why it had to be this complicated

So sometimes its the front, and sometimes it's the back??

Why make it so damn complicated!? would it not just be easier to stick with one way, like the back when the train is in normal formation, and only when it's in reverse formation, have the cycles at the front? Then if it's a short platform, they have to make sure that the end that has the cycles on is on the platform...sorry if i'm repeating stuff that other people have said...

First great western, you will forever bamboozle me
