May 2020 Timetables.

« on: April 21, 2020, 11:16:50 »

Any news? I checked Monday May 25 working timetable for Paddington and if I have read it correctly it looks like the emergency timetable is still in force as there are no direct to Paignton trains or vice versa.

I would be ... amazed ... to find much if anything more than what we have at the moment running by late May - though now that the extra unexpected work generated to get lockdown into place and it's more "steady as the goes", perhaps this is something to be looking forward towards.

My ear (and various others) to the ground and probably fair to say we're at the quietest point for news just at the moment - I would expect that to remain the case for a number of days, but not for a similar number of weeks.

Any increase of train service above the current Covid-19 emergency timetable is only likely to see 70 to 80% of the normal timetable.
Concerns on how to manage social distancing on board trains, the embarkation and disembarkation also at station, ticket office and the interfaces with other transport (busses tubes etc) are forefront to the teams looking at how to reintroduce increased services when the Government relax the current rules
