Plymouth to London Via Bristol

« on: July 27, 2011, 16:38:24 »

Hi

I don't know if this topic has been mention before.
Could there be a service started from Plymouth or Exeter which went to London Paddington via Bristol.

There are already a few.

I caught the (07:30) London to Penzance from Swindon (08:27) to Exeter this morning . There is also a 10:00 and a 21:45 to Exeter via Bristol. From Exter there is the 01:00, the 06:12, 10:56 and th 20:44. Not sure where they start.

the 01:00 from exeter is most likely the sleeper and doesnt really have a fixed route from Taunton it can go via Westbury or Bristol to Swindon/Reading.

I have never been on it via Bristol has anyone here? the only time i did it it went via Westbury & Melksham to Swindon before proceding to Reading.

I've often been on the Sleeper and gone via Bristol TM^▸ , I've know passengers to board at Bristol rather than wait till the 04.xx train.
But then it doesn't always go via Bristol, it has a wide range of variations of route between Taunton & Reading., even more on a Sunday night between Exeter St D & Reading.

The 06:12 starts at Plymouth 05:10 and the 1056/2044 both start at Penzance.
