Dan Norris was on local radio yesterday morning and admitted that there is shortage of drivers with numbers well short of requirements

In respect of point 2, although the Bradford junction reversal was used during the Box tunnel works, is was actually provided during the Westbury area re-signalling in the 1980s

It is the total withdrawal of passenger services on the line. Surely in that case closure procedures have to be followed irrespective of the number of trains per day

My first thought is "Have they gone through the necessary statutory procedures?"

Quote from: grahame on February 11, 2023, 17:12:26 2. Screens inside arriving buses and trains telling you where to find your onward connection would be magic. Not sure this directly answers the immediate question asked by Mark, but it sure as heck prepares people ahead of time to whichever solution is chosen, problems with it are dumbed down. Arriving into Swindon (from Melksham), an onward service display in the carriage telling me about the platform and time for London, Didcot, Cheltenham Spa and Cardio would be great. Arriving into Westbury, a similar board avoiding a dash to the flurry at the top of the stairs, please. The new trains on Northern have this, even for intermediate stations where there ore no onward connections

Is there parking nearby as getting there by public transport from my location is very difficult

59	All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Return rail tickets to be scrapped	on: February 08, 2023, 14:09:28
My concern is over day returns. For many local journeys the only fares available are singles and day returns with the former often only a few pence cheaper than the latter. If returns are abolished this could mean that local journeys almost double in price unless the single fare is significantly reduced.

Works have ongoing on those platforms for a considerable time
