Title: football special on Sunday 8th January 2023 Post by: infoman on January 03, 2023, 17:43:43 departs 16:08pm from BTM calling at Port Talbot Neath and Swansea.
Early start for the football followers at 09:23am to bristol temple meads arrive 11:12am for the 12:30pm kick off. Shame it can't start from Parson Street. I presume if it was to start from Parson Street,it would have to shunt towards Ashton Gate(would any GWR driver now have the route knowledge nowadays?)or a Pilotman? Run to Weston Super Mare and then reverse and come back up the main line. Curious if any non football travellers would mind boarding a rocket going non stop from BTM to PT Neath or Swansea.
