Title: Thinned out commuter service into Bristol Post by: grahame on February 15, 2018, 06:33:14 Quote 05:19 London Paddington to Swansea due 08:58 05:19 London Paddington to Swansea due 08:58 will be started from Bristol Temple Meads. It will no longer call at London Paddington, Reading, Didcot Parkway, Swindon, Chippenham and Bath Spa. This is due to a shortage of train drivers. Will be formed of 7 coaches instead of 10. First class reduced. Not a clever one to loose - puts back first arrival from Swindon and Chippenham into Temple Meads from 07:10 to 08:18. The half hourly service into Bristol isn't really half hourly anyway with a gap of a whole hour at peak commute time! Lack of one train driver will delay up to 500 people ... many by over an hour!
