Is that what GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) staff refer to it as, or just some 'enthusiasts'?

With apologies if it's already on this thread or elsewhere (I can't obviously find it).. Does anyone know the new JourneyCheck link for Great Western Railways? The First great western one no longer works and gives no clue of how to find the new one.

I take it in time the 'Planned Engineering Work' page will have content added to it?
https://www.gwr.com/travel-updates/planned-engineering

The PDFs they were in the old site don't appear to have made it across.

I do like the image of a wagon loaded with ballast at Bath Spa.

Johoare - you are so right. Looks as though they want you to search your actual journey than look st the whole overview

I was like that towards the end of the old website with the Journey Check logo towards the bottom of the page. I much prefer the overview page having a link on my shortcut bar.

24 hours "in" ... and I'm noting that the Coffee Shop was over 40% busier than on a normal Sunday ...

Monday was around 90% busier (reader wise) than a typical Monday - some 1,850 sessions of between 5 and 6 pages per session - versus around 960 sessions average for the previous four Mondays.

I got a cup of tea in a GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) branded cup along with a little tin of complimentary GWR branded mints.

There was a trolley service on the 1518 Paddington-Bedwyn semi-fast Turbo this afternoon - first time I've seen that in several years of using these services.
