Not tstrictly true

The 1845 is actually the 1915 from Pad - this is the one I get at the moment

6 minutes to make that connection at Newport. Tight! Here's hoping that ATW^▸ (Arriva Trains Wales (former Train Operating Company)) hold the Hereford train if the 1915 is a few minutes late....

[supersonic]

this is true as the 1915 is not a valid connection time in the fgw timetable booklet for the north costwolds.

[Mookiemoo]

It is according to national rail journey planner - and ive never missed it -come close but never missed it

[IndustryInsider]

Minimum connection time at Newport (in common with most small/medium sized stations) is 5 minutes.

i've looked it up on the national rail and that is very true the 1915 gives you the connection..

confused why fgw.


dont say this is not one/

Which is why, we in FGW^▸ (First Great Western) control hate the 6 minute connections at Newport with Hereford line services. At least one Pad-Swa has a 4 minute 'booked connection'! We have very good relations with ATW^▸ (Arriva Trains Wales (former Train Operating Company)) who will hold if they can, but lots of examples of customers having to wait 45-50 minutes for the next train to the north (or taxis being provided if connection for the last train is missed)

Most have a long dwell time at hereford so if running to time can afford to be held

Interestingly - I once missed a 1030 connection at hereford to ludlow and the last train was 1130 - it was a friday night and pissing down

The FGW TM^▸ (Train Manager, or Ticket Machine, or Temple Meads (Bristol), depending on context) to whom Im extremely grateful to this day - arranged a taxi  - one hour on a friday night - in the rain  for a solo female passenger?
