Title: How can a train skip Newport? Post by: grahame on October 16, 2020, 02:49:25 Railway geography question ... how can a train be routed to avoid Newport? Or have they simply closed the station for the night rather than waiting for the last train?
Quote 21:48 London Paddington to Swansea due 01:07 15/10/20 21:48 London Paddington to Swansea due 01:07 will no longer call at Newport South Wales. It has been previously delayed but is now 150 minutes late from Cardiff Central. This is due to a person hit by a train. Title: Re: How can a train skip Newport?

considering that were another four trains to depart to Cardiff after the paddington service should have departed. Maybe those in charge found out if their MIGHT have been any one on board for Newport and decided not to get the train stopped at newport This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
