Did anyone go to Hove as Witnesses? ![Grin](http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I just feel sad for passengers at Brighton who've chosen that train as the only direct one of the day to Gloucester, Cheltenham and Worcester to learn it's not running from there. Mind you ... if the 08:59 is not running, passengers for Cheltenham Spa can take the 09:05 and change at Barnham, Fareham and Bristol Temple Meads and get to Cheltenham earlier, and can connect at Cheltenham Spa into the train that should have started from Brighton and didn't.

UPDATE:- Changed at Bristol TM on outward Mischeviously, one wonders about a service that's touted as a through service but you end up having to change on the way - is it really a through service? Bearing in mind that Great Malvern to Brighton is only valid via that route on the "through train" rule, does that mean it wouldn't have been a valid journey today ![Grin](http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Happens on the buses too ... Axminster to Beer about 10 days ago turned out to be advertised as a through route but with a change in Seaton!

17:02 Brighton to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:26 will be started from Southampton Central.
Especially "classic". That's the 18:42 from Southampton calling at Romsey and Salisbury at 19:13. There is also an 18:40 from Southampton which calls at Romsey and arrives Salisbury at 19:24 ... if you wonder why that's slower, it's because it sits outside Southampton - at Millbrook - for 6 or 7 minutes to let the 18:42 go through and clear the section, and it has extra stops. I know that franchising encourages competition so it's really good having 2 trains 2 minutes apart ....

From Wednesday ... the Brighton pulls in to Westbury to pick up a "few" people: ![](http://www.wellho.net/pix/btnatwsb_20181031.jpg) Shows the crowds coming off the train from the West Country and the importance of the interchange / volume of the flow. I have no idea how many of these people were going beyond Fareham ...

Goodness .. first report for a week. 17:02 Brighton to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:26 17:02 Brighton to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:26 will be started from Worthing. It will no longer call at Brighton, Hove and Shoreham-By-Sea. This is due to congestion. Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 3. Do 2 coaches cause less congestion than 3 as they get through junctions quicker?? Not such a silly question ... I have seen some of the journey optimisation software, and seen how 12 coach trains are slower than 4 coaches though corners as they have to stay at the restricted speed for longer ... quite apart from taking 12/4 times the time over junctions
