Enhanced service for Saltash Regatta 28/29 June

« on: June 10, 2008, 09:36:04 AM »

First Great Western have agreed extra stops on through services over the regatta weekend. We expect over 10,000 people to visit the regatta this year, and hopefully many will arrive by train. Saltash train station is just a short distance from the regatta.

The regatta are also producing a special regatta leaflet that will show these extra services, which will be distributed across FGW stations in the South West.

Come along, you are all welcome.

From Saltash Rail Users Group :

Quote from: SRUG

I’m sure that you all know that it is Saltash Regatta this coming weekend and SRUG will be there with a stall. Apart from coming down to enjoy the fun I still need three more volunteers to spend one hour each helping man the stall.

If you can possibly agree to spend one hour on the stall at a time to suit yourself then please let me know by email to roger[at]crosborne[dot]co[dot]uk

Suggest a one hour time starting from the top of an hour when you could be there – if you can provide alternative times it might reduce the shuffling around to fit you in.

Apologies to those who have already been asked personally and are either coming or otherwise engaged – you've done your bit and can ignore this!

Hope to see you there
Roger Creagh-Osborne

Further message from Saltash Rail Users Group :

Quote from: SRUG

Don’t forget, it’s Saltash Regatta tomorrow and Sunday, a fun packed event both on and off the water. For more information have a look at www.saltashregatta.co.uk

SRUG have been instrumental in organising extra train stops over the regatta weekend, and we hope that many of you will make the effort to use them. The extra stops are showing on the National Rail planner at www.nationalrail.co.uk, or the enhanced timetabled can be downloaded at http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Content.aspx?id=2644

This year we have a fantastic raffle, to help raise funds for our continued campaign. You can win train tickets worth in excess of £1300!!! First Great Western have provided 1st Class tickets and CrossCountry have provided Standard Class tickets anywhere on their network. As CrossCountry do not yet stop at Saltash, SRUG will pay the extra fare, should you require it. There is also a family day out by train up for grabs as well.

We will also be on hand to give general advice, and hand out timetables along with our new ‘Days out by train’ leaflet.
