Yet there's been no mention of extra trains tomorrow for the Bluebirds' day out at Wembley.

It's considered the hourly service between Cardiff and London will be ample as there was 'spare capacity' on the specials last time...

Glad we're going from Nailsea then!

I suppose the single line at Kemble may prevent extra services.

I expect the Portsmouth-Cardiff line will be quiet tomorrow!

Good! 15.54 off of Bristol to Cardiff made an additional stop at Stapleton Rd today, to let 1 passenger continue their journey in an ambulance, posiably due to the busisness of the 2 car 158.........
