There is a poster up at stations detailing all the changes from May 2016. I can't find similar online. If I see said poster again today I'll try and grab an image of it.

I see 'East 1' is 'Coming Soon'. I presume from the uncertainty of what is happening with the 387s has led to this.

Correct. Unfortunately we had a last minute change to the timetable on Friday and have had to stop our E1 timetables from being dispatched to stations. (And online). We're hoping to have it up online for Wednesday at the earliest. Obviously printed copies will be much further behind as they'll need to be reprinted and distributed.

Thanks for posting that update here, Rob T.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Thank you. I'll investigate with our Web Team.

While I'm here, the all-in-one timetable book (Guide to Services) will be slightly late arriving at stations. Due to the issues we had with E1, everything else is running a week or two later than normal.

Thanks for the update re the guide to services Rob.

Now Middleton Press have ceased producing an all line timetable using the NRT▸ (Network Rail Telecoms) files due to accuracy issues, this and the timetable book published by SWT▸ (South West Trains) are all the more of value.

The NRT is still available on the Network Rail website but you will need to print it yourself. There is a suspicion that Network Rail would like the requirement to produce the NRT to be removed. Source, Barry Doe in RAIL magazine issue 799.

Though Middleton Press do advertise a Great Britain timetable based upon Thomas Cook's European timetable (Thomas Cook's t/t isn't published by the travel firm anymore but by a group of enterprising business persons - and very interesting it is too!). However such a publication would be far from a full GB▸ (Great Britain) t/t as many local and suburban services are shown only in summary. Mind you Middleton's book is only a tenner and more likely to fit in a brief case than requiring the wheeled suitcase needed for a print out of Network Rail's pdf's! Cheesy

Yup, Middleton are doing Thomas Cook style timetable which I'm sure many will appreciate it. Sadly I'm not one of them being an old school timetable enthusiast.

So are there any headline changes? I've had a flick through the timetables (PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains)-TWY▸ (Twyford station) and TWY-HOT) that affect me and most things look pretty similar...
