Other Train Operating Company's services

« on: March 07, 2008, 16:15:06 »

Although we're set up here to cover (First) Great Western topics, certain other Train Operators / services overlap and connect with them. And in response to a couple of questions that have been asked - yes - you're very welcome to post questions / comments / information relating to other services in this wedge of the country. I've added such a comment to the title of some boards as a "hint / permission" - but that list isn't complete I'm sure.

I can confirm that AT LEAST that posts concerning the following are valid ...

South West Trains - Portsmouth to Southampton, to Romsey, to Salisbury
South West Trains - to Bristol, to Exeter, to Paignton, Plymouth and Penzance
Cross Country services into the area via Bromsgrove / Ashchurch
Cross Country services into the area via Banbury / out via Basingstoke
Arriva's South Wales services.
Chiltern trains to Bicester and Banbury

But I will "warn" you that you may not find quite such a load of experts on these service that aren't core to the board ...

Agreed - and I expect there are others I've overlooked (Redhill to Gatport Airwick has just sprung to mind!)

South West Trains on North Downs Line between Reading and Wokingham, and in Guildford area.
CrossCountry from Reading via Guildford, and via Kensington which branches off from Acton

If you want the curve from Acton Mainline to Kensington Olympia I suggest you get that in soon - Kenny O Voyagers stop soon.

Interestingly, the Kenny O Voyagers are not actually booked via Clapham Jn!
