Title: Limited FGW Services Quiz Post by: Lee on November 19, 2007, 11:18:19 From December 2007 , Melksham will be served on Sundays by 1 service in one direction and 2 services in the other direction.
However , there are 2 stations on the FGW network that are currently served by 1 FGW service in one direction and 2 FGW services in the other direction in the Saturday timetable. Can you name them? I will give you a clue - one of the stations is also served by another train operating company , but the other station isnt.

Title: Re: Limited FGW Services Quiz Post by: Lee on November 19, 2007, 13:24:40 The one served by other TOCs would be Eastleigh...... Nope , no FGW services are currently scheduled to call at Eastleigh on Saturdays. Clue number 2 : My quizmaster (and future wife) would like to make it known that there are actually 5 stations that fulfill this criteria. 3 of them can be found in the timetable that she failed to check....... http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Documents/Custom/Book%20A%20Sept%2007%20web.pdf Title: Re: Limited FGW Services Quiz Post by: BandHcommuter on November 19, 2007, 14:07:17 This set the office trainspotters a challenge. Two suggestions were St Budeaux Ferry Road and Wanborough. Then I wondered if the stations from Havant to Brighton qualified.

Then I wondered if the stations from Havant to Brighton qualified. ??? Congratulations , BandHcommuter , St Budeaux Ferry Road and Wanborough are 2 of the correct answers. The stations from Havant to Brighton dont qualify because they are served by 2 FGW services in each direction on Saturdays. Has anyone spotted the other 3 stations that do qualify? I'm tempted to look west from Swansea ..... I am sure you are , grahame , I couldnt possibly comment......

Coombe doesn't get much more! Coombe gets 2 services in each direction on Saturdays.
