If past form is anything to go by they should be online by the end of this week, a month out from the TT change on the 17th of May.

I did not like the way they split the timetables last time.  I was even going to type out my own easier to read timetable but could not do due to copyright.

I wouldn't have thought that FGW (First Great Western) would bother suing you for copyright infringment if the timetable was just for yoru own use and you were not distributing them to others (and how would they know anyway?)

Is this a FGW (First Great Western) publication similar to SWT (South West Trains)'s complete timetable?

Are FGW (First Great Western) doing a complete overhaul of their timetables by splitting the current A-E books into smaller booklets?

If you go to:

http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/pj/pyot

you can make your own timetable. Seems to work OK.

Is this the future?
