Thoughts to those involved. :( Title: Re: Pewsey to Weymouth Post by: grahame on August 28, 2015, 05:24:26 From my Facebook Mail - "is the Wizard running this Saturday with connection from Pewsey?" Alas not. The HST to Weymouth is off ...
Quote Since our first correspondence, the RMT have decided on Saturday as a strike day ... so the Swindon to Weymouth train will not be running. Pewsey's service is reduced to trains to London at 12:00 and 20:23, and heading West to Plymouth at 16:03, 18:03 and 21:07 I appreciate it's only This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
