Relief for 1753 Commuters

« on: November 24, 2008, 22:24:53 »

Our favourite sardine can, the 1753 for Nailsea and beyond is going to be 3 coaches from the new timetable. This news comes from the latest Customer Panel minutes, which have now been posted on the FGW^▸ website.

Curiously, the minutes confirm that the loco hauled set is funded by the DaFT^» , not to strengthen Bristol area services, but to enable a Cl150 to be displaced to the south west to cover for a withdrawn evening XC^▸ service in the new timetable (which is mentioned in another thread).

It was a three car 158 this evening, John - sheer bliss! Grin

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
