I have added myself today

11:30 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour due 14:52 was diverted between Bath Spa and Trowbridge and will be terminated at Fratton. It will no longer call at Bradford-On-Avon, Portsmouth & Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour but will call additionally at Chippenham and Melksham. It has been previously delayed and is now 41 minutes late from Westbury. This is due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge.

It performed well on the day giving those on board a nice ride, punctual arrivals at all points. I enjoyed it. A good test as the load was 13 plus a (dead) class 57.

I changed an advance ticket with GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) yesterday - senior moment. booked wrong date. A simple process and a reasonable charge. It helped that I had booked on line so could access the original booking.

Another totally irrelevant picture

That line was my local and my daily commute for 5 months in 1967. Happy memories

I knew that crossing very well

very clear - I don't think

Is the blue surface on the lift shafts a permanent or temporary feature.

I had a go. It appears that I don't know much, at least about the travel habits of the british public, which the quiz is mainly about

Surely Paddington to Liverpool Street would use the Elizabeth line

If travelling to Kidderminster I would always split ticket at Worcester. Apart from being cheaper, it also avoids having to change stations in Birmingham.
