Combining threads here, sorry….
As I understand things currently, no other services in the Coffeeshop region are definitely threatened with removal ...- and of those 5 that are, other than being ‘through’ services to London for just 2/3/4 stations (that have no other through services to London) - and we don’t know what service is going to be offered by GWR▸ yet - they may be very good connections, who knows?
I think waiting to find out more from GWR possibly? Otherwise we may find there are meatier causes to fight.
Pre-Covid, from December 2019 trains, not running at present:
* Some Superfasts London to Bristol and to South Wales
* Cardiff to Paddington (second train in hour)
* Through services from Bedwyn to London all day (not just peaks)
Services promised but never started* Daytime superfasts Bristol to London
You may think "wait". Past experience of waiting as been "too early", "too early", "too early", "sorry, too late" feedback - there has never been a right time. "We don't know yet, please be patient", "We don't know yet" - "ah, we have decided and can only make tiny changes now" is another way to put it.
I'm back the week after the one just coming up, and will probably learn more during that week.
