dont know if forum members know about this, and i know its not about the greter western franchise but as cross country will serve the south west (and south wales!) i thought it appropriate!

the 2009 TT is now on consultation.

i am very disappointed that the once a day cardiff to newcastle train has been made into a cardiff to manchester!  we already have perfect hourly south wales to manc service with arriva trains wales, and so the new proposed AXC» (Arriva Cross Country - about) cardiff to manc via BNS (Barnes (not Birmingham New Street) which is actually BHM)) is really no use! 

what south wales passengers realy need is a direct south wales to scotland service as wasa once proposed by VXC (Virgin Cross Country - former franchise) in 2002! 

please ACX.  dont forget your network exptends into SOUTH WALES and we need a direct linK to the NE and Scotland as has been provided since the 1970S.

 will be replying to the cross country 2009 timetable consultation accordingly! ! ! !

I presume your post refers to the TT due to be implemented in December 2008 which is in effect the 2009 TT.

I think it is a bit premature to be going out to consultation of the TT due to come into force in December 2009 which will continue until December 2010 after all the Arriva  XC (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) franchise may have gone tits up by then.

Yes this is the one.  AXC» (Arriva Cross Country - about) are referring to it as their 2009 timetable.  I think it is a sensible idea to consult the public now as once it is set in stone, I guess there are very little chances for change.  There deadline for getting comments in is sometime in October I believe, so I'd better get writing!
