Thanks for the heads-up Nothing earth-shattering as far as the timetable for the London-Oxford-Worcester-Hereford route is concerned Hopefully fewer disruptions/cancellations? |

... aand that's why elephants, when near Montpelier Station, proceeded in line ahead formation and held each other's tails, as shown in this photo kindly recirculated on Twitter by no less than the Gallimaufry pub.

Worth mentioning that the first three up services this morning - 1P11 0514 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington, 1P02 0523 Hereford to London Paddington & 1P16 0643 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington - were all five car short-formations. Likelihood of great cosiness on board, then |

As it happens, Network Rail have today tweeted a link to a short video on their pump renewal work to keep the tunnel reliably dry. Presumably those pumps will today be adding the small additional ingress from whatever it was managed to pop through the lining at the Welsh end of the structure to their day-to-day load.
The Wikipedia article on the Severn Tunnel quotes 26 minutes between complete cessation of pumping and "The tunnel being full of water" which sounds a bit gloomy. There's no source for that figure, 26 minutes might just be the time for the water to rise above rail level perhaps. Interesting paper from 1970 on the source of the Great Spring: https://www.ubss.org.uk/resources/proceedings/vol12/UBSS_Proc_12_2_203-212.pdf Mark https://twitter.com/networkrail/status/1786375113962619160 |

An unusually detailed and well constructed article for a local rag these days.

Link below for an article in Somerset Live that reopening Wellington (Somerset) Station has taken a big step forward, although someone forgot to proof read the headline.... somewhat ironic given the subject matter.

With four days to go before outline planning permission expires, YTL have submitted a fairly lightweight application for the Bristol Arena:
