Let's hope you won't need it. I have grim memories of the Stoke blockade (it lasted a couple of months, IIRC▸ ('if I recall/remember/read correctly')) during the WCML▸ (West Coast Main Line) upgrade. At 2230 on the Sunday evening Network Rail were saying reopening was happening. At 0600 on the Monday I turned up for a train, and reopening had slipped... by a week. See Crossrail for a more recent example of this phenomenon.

I will be finishing work late morning tomorrow with a plan to go straight to Parkway or Abbey Wood to give the four tracking to Temple Meads a go. Might just have a quick check beforehand that trains are running though, not that I'm doubting NR» (Network Rail - home page) off course. 😉

And the $64,000 question: will the line reopen tomorrow morning as planned?

Open but stifled?

Credit where credit is due. Well done, Network Rail.

Now, if they could get the new printed timetable up on the website in PDF form that would be excellent. It's less than three weeks away - should be there.

It looks like none of the public mapping sites have updated their maps yet, which is a bit of a shame.  Even Railcam, which is usually very on-the-ball, still has the previous layout with trains ‘disappearing’.
