Title: Services after 5th September
Post by: TaplowGreen on August 15, 2020, 17:06:21
I'm getting this message on the GWR website

Alterations to the Great Western Railway timetable due to Coronavirus.
Train times from Saturday 5 September onwards may not be available and current timetables may be subject to last minute changes, please check back before you travel


I've not booked any tickets for a while - is this just a "rolling" message/caveat that has been on the website for some time, or is there something particularly dramatic expected in early September?

Grateful for any advice

From 7th September, changes have been described as additions / changes to reflect the need of school jounrneys. In my own next of the woods, the services I would be looking at include:
* The 08:09 arrival into Southampton Central
* The 15:28 departure from Warminster
* The train from Swindon to Cheltenham Spa at around 07:50 and return at about 17:40

A week later - 14th September - most remaining suspended services to return.
