Title: Which new station will open next, from these runners Post by: grahame on August 01, 2020, 14:31:27 With thanks for the idea from one of members (at http://www.passenger.chat/23855 ) ... please vote, just for fun, which station you think will see its first regular scheduled passenger trains earliest. You can vote "either way" - so go for a single winner, or a place in the top three - that's up to three votes.
This is NOT "which would you LIKE to see first" - "it is which WILL BE first" Title: Re: Which new station will open next, from these runners Post by: Adelante_CCT on August 01, 2020, 15:20:34 It wouldn't surprise me if Green Park (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=4433.0) opens after many of these :(

It looks like an open race ... all the runners have backers and there is no odds-on favourite yet. Race is just one five Title: Re: Which new station will open next, from these runners Post by: eightf48544 on August 02, 2020, 11:01:28 I'm suprised at the current leader as one has already had a train make a trial call. It's mentioned in current post on 60 reopenings. Moderators could you put a link please
Title: Re: Which new station will open next, from these runners Post by: grahame on August 02, 2020, 11:35:13 Moderators could you put a link please We could, or you could yourself ;D :D Marsh Barton has no station but it does have service that could call ... Marchwood has a station but no services passing through it. Horse but no cart, cart but no horse.

Title: Re: Which new station will open next, from these runners Post by: johnneyw on August 02, 2020, 14:36:36 Would the Bristol Arenal be open next year? I've lost track of just when/if it will happen. The station there would rely on MetroWest being up and running too.

Marchwood has a station but no services passing through it. Horse but no cart, cart but no horse. Excellent summary Grahame. Title: Re: Which new station will open next, from these runners Post by: grahame on August 07, 2020, 15:57:30 Result! ... Interesting to see which the 30 of you who voted think will be first or in the first group.
Marsh Barton - 15 (28.3%) Cardiff Parkway - 10 (18.9%) Portway Parkway - 8 (15.1%) Marchwood - 7 (13.2%) Portishead - 5 (9.4%) Devizes Parkway - 5 (9.4%) Cullompton - 2 (3.8%) Corsham - 1 (1.9%) Some very interesting mid-range runners in there could well be that some of the later entrants come in ahead of the pack. Could also be with some of the less favoured runners that there's work going on behind the scenes and suddenly a station will pop up. It's often about being ready to take an opportunity.
