Well, I'm all in favour of FGW^▸ (First Great Western) reducing their omissions ...







Sorry   

Mere amateurs: that was only 4 tonnes 

Ollie has produced a very good summary of the timetable alterations for the Glastonbury Festival: see http://www.iworkforfgw.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=108 for details.

Ah, those Wombles ... 

Track was also taken from Acton Turville (not Turnville, as quoted): see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7434084.stm for details.  171 tonnes 

Thanks for that latest update, Karl: you and your team are clearly doing some sterling work at Penmere!

Does 'after some jiggering' mean that someone hit it with a hammer a bit too hard ... 

And, just as an aside, talking of old place name spellings, how about Beare, Liskerd, Bodman, Redreuth or Pesaunce?

See http://www.historystreets.com/image.php?id=198727&idx=2&fromsearch=true and have a browse!

Thanks, Ollie: that'll explain the security blanket of obscurity that's descended over the matter, then!

Good for them though, travelling by train:

"The Prince and The Duchess will travel along The Severn Valley Railway to celebrate the reopening of the line which was also damaged by the flooding."

 

Sorry, Mookiemoo, I've done some 'digging', but I haven't been able to find out what's going on.

The parking at WOS^» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains) is managed by Meteor - but their contact number is just a recorded message, saying they're not open until 0630 tomorrow morning. 

The only suggestion I can offer is that you contact them:

Primary Phone Number 0870 060 4416
Email Address comments@londonmidlandparking.com

Good luck   

Thanks, Hafren and eightf48544, for your very helpful replies to that question. 


Yes, I did wonder whether that might turn out to be rather a silly question, when I posted it! 

 

Well, at least partly because, once the train(s) involved have reached their destinations, and/or overnight, that information is deleted from FGW^▸ (First Great Western)'s website.  At least here in the forum, the information is preserved for future reference, in threads such as this. 


Thanks, SDA, for making a very good point: please, may I ask that members do not 'quote' the whole of a previous post, if they are only replying to one particular point in it?  Thanks! 

I agree, they'd be better than nothing on the Portishead line (!), but at just 25 seats each, you'd need a fair few of them to deal with commuter traffic - and yes, they'd just get clogged up in the existing road traffic mayhem between BTM^▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI)) and the city centre, for example.

Melksham, though, possibly, grahame? 

Well, that might work ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7195418.stm 

More concerns raised over the barrage:

"The company behind the Port of Bristol has expressed 'serious concerns' about an energy-producing barrage in the Severn Estuary.

The Bristol Port Company said the ^14 billion project, which is the subject of an environmental study, would be a major impediment on its future plans."

Thanks, John!  You're quite right - and I'm really feeling my age now!
