Is there any significance to the West Of England service being in Western rather than Wessex?

Yes.

Probably about as significant as “Reading - Redhill - Gatwick” being in Wessex. 

Mistake or conspiracy?  Huh

The winter edition of the National Rail Timetable is now available with a new look:
https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/the-timetable/electronic-national-rail-timetable/

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the various updates.   Lovely to see changes and improvements ... which means I have a degree of w-o-r-k to build it and the links into the various data feeds from this site.   I also have the rail stats to build it - now back home, and recovered from the Spanish Flu Portugese Cold I brought back with me ... catching up on meetings and events put back until I was home and so perhaps next week or two.   Will also relocate Okehampton from somewhere off the Sillies to Devon on the train running map, as I'm sure there will be the very occasional late changes there!

This Isle of Scilly have another rail service today.
I'm sure they'd love a more regular daily service - perhaps a Parliamentary one  Grin

Made me think, Scilly being known for the drowned landscapes between the islands, and then, elsewhere, tidal roads and the like, of which the west country has a few.

I was thinking that there can't be locations on the UK▸ (United Kingdom) passenger rail network similarly afflicted, and then reminded myself of the last bit of the Looe branch and also, er, Dovey Junction... but perhaps those two are dependent on a bit of fresh from the river as well as a spring tide to back the water up.

Which in turn put me in mind of the following image captured from the web cam of a guest house that overlooks the railway north of Barmouth. In this case the culprit was a storm surge coupled with a push from the local weather: it was not a good day for people on  that coast.

Hmm, the Severn Beach line, closed this morning and added to my list of passenger lines subject to tidal flooding. Now wondering where the vulnerability is...
