£8??? That's more than a 3.4% increase.  I'll ask my usual source to hold off buying me one. |

They've probably cut the number they print, which may well push up the price.

Probably, but I think that price will put even more people off from purchasing so eventually they will cease publication which would be a shame as it's really well produced. |

But if they can't at least break even printing the previous quantity (as they're throwing away too many un-bought copies) or the lesser quantity (price yo high), what's the answer?

It would be a shame, but if very few actually buy it....

Cornish branches full set of 153s today. Only 150 in Cornwall this morning was the 0600 off Penzance
The Melksham increase in capacity taking a hit elsewhere

Indeed - during 2017, loss of a carriage meant a cancellation. But this morning it "just" meant that people were sitting on each other's knees again "Managing expectations" ... this (short) week, smoke signals seen in the final few weeks before Christmas led us to be live that things would be settling in ... a good point to start making a realistic evaluation being from Monday, 8th. I flagged (post elsewhere) six separate stock diagrams that were short this morning and none of them were west of Exeter. I do expect you'll see lots of pairs of 153s out west, and bearing in mind the seasonality, I wonder if the Looe and Newquay branches would manage to mid March with a single 153 on most services? Really a question for RichardB - I simply don't know their commuter flows versus seasonal and off peak traffic. |

I see one of GWR▸ 's named trains the "Torbay Express" is not on the new timetable. This was 1C09, the 10:00 Paddington to Paignton weekday service via Bristol Temple Meads.
1C09 is still a valid service but now only goes as far as BTM▸ .
Is the "Torbay Express" likely to return once the IET▸ rollout is complete?

Runs via Westbury leaving Paddington later at 10.35. And no it won't return to running via Bristol. |

Runs via Westbury leaving Paddington later at 10.35. And no it won't return to running via Bristol. Thanks Timmer I hadn't checked the other route. I have occasionally used this service from Swindon to Dawlish, so will have to change at Bristol in future. |

It is a shame that service doesn't call at Westbury - it would make an excellent connection out of the 10:47 from Swindon. However there are a couple of freight workings at Westbury which might get in the way. |
