At least the Bristol-paddingtons have, and are using a diversionary route!  Seems surprising that Portsmouth-Cardiffs and Weymouth-Malvern etc seem never to be offered diversion via Melksham and Swindon! ( or is the signalling controlled by the same faulty system?)

I take it with electrification will also come resignalling which must now be due for renewal on the Bath-Bristol line as this appears to be becoming a bit of a signalling failure blackspot.

probably more to do with crews not signing the route, only a few west crew sign melksham to swindon, and to my knowledge none sign swindon to b/parkway via hullavington

Some Portsmouth Harbour services were only stopping at Westbury , did these go via Swindon or Taunton?

Interesting to note the 1600 PZ to PADD is being diverted to call Westbury, Chippenham, Swindon.

Signals are due to be replaced between Bath and Bristol with work starting towards the end of 2010

That's a capacity/flexibility improvement, not re-signalling.

I was refering to a memo issued to safety reps from Network Rail after a driver asked about a safety situation regarding a signal on the viaduct on the down main at Bath Spa. The memo stated that this signal would be located nearer to the platform during the Bath to Bristol re-signalling project due to commence at the latter end of 2010.

The clue I got from this memo was Bath to Bristol re-signalling



I see what's happened now, you've assumed NR» (Network Rail - home page) know what they are talking about - easy mistake to make.   Grin
