Title: What is unique to Freshford?
Post by: grahame on November 11, 2019, 19:42:13
So .. Avoncliff, Oldfield Park and Keynsham are OK, but not Freshford?   Scratching my head as to what the problem might be!

19:49 Bristol Temple Meads to Frome due 20:49
19:49 Bristol Temple Meads to Frome due 20:49 will no longer call at Freshford.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Further Information
A fault on this train precludes it from calling at Freshford tonight. Customers boarding the train for Freshford are to alight at Bath Spa for onward road transport. Customers at Freshford are requested to use the station help-point to summon a taxi.

That was a mistake - should now be corrected to Avoncliff.

Not sure. I think journeycheck uses Windows rather than Doors.  ;D

GWR is really starting to like asking their passengers to 'summon a taxi' from the help point... I really do question whether or not it would actually work, GWR suggest that those travelling from Pilning on rail replacement days also 'summon a taxi' from the help point, but I find it hard to believe it would work. It's hard enough to get information from a NRE member of staff through a help point anyway, let alone arrange a taxi...
