I'm not terribly sure how you can connect at Melksham (see attachment) ... perhaps in preparation for the day when the East - West Link to Weymouth semi-fast train overtakes the Swindon to Bristol via Bradford-on-Avon commuter service every hour?

I am not sure it means that - Kemble is also shown as an interchange

Yet more changes at ATOC» (Association of Train Operating Companies see - here).  The Routeing Guide maps are no longer available in a handy downloadable PDF, but now served through the Google Maps API with rather ambiguous connections in many places.

http://data.atoc.org/routeing-guide

Roll Eyes

I wonder if this has anything to do with people printing the maps? Printing from a PDF is usually straight forward for 1 specific page. Google Maps API is a nightmare. Also a right sod to open on a poor internet connection.

I've noticed a few maps have changed or been split. My loophole that allowed Paddington - Oxford via Bristol has gone; the map which allowed it has been split into two Angry

Easement 70004 has gone (Perhaps only have myself to blame for that one) However the ScotRail Easement for Doubleback at Inverness does remain Grin

Also looks like the Easement allowing tickets to Brentwood via Shenfield for interchange only has gone... If GreaterAnglia think I am going to sit on a Class 313 from London Liverpool Street - Brentwood with my track history they've got another thing coming! Lips sealed Undecided Embarrassed

Boy someone at ATOC» (Association of Train Operating Companies see - here) has been busy.

The FRPP/The Manual is now internal only on pre-approved IPs (previously if you knew the login you could get in).
NRE▸ (National Rail Enquiries) now has fare restrictions on URLs
www.nationalrail.co.uk/9D for example or www.nationalrail.co.uk/pdfs/SSR_9D.pdf (these will be printed on new tickets)
Now the NRG has been made harder for pax▸ (passengers) to use (against) the TOCs▸ (Train Operating Company). Curious though is the Greenford - Stations Byond Hayes easement via pad still there? Surprised the RDG▸ (Rail Delivery Group, or Reading station, depending on context)-PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) season tkt holders haven't caught onto this one as a RDG-AML season is a lot cheaper then RDG-PAD and it's still valid via pad.

Reading to Hanwell is cheaper still. Also valid via Paddington.

I couldn't remember if that had been deleted 'amended' or not.
