(Talkimg of reducing overcrowding by reducing passenger numbers) That's exactly what happened in 2006, when First took over the operation from Wessx trains - 3 cars reduced to 2, overcrowding, and passenger numbers dropped in contrast to growth elsewhere

Only one train from London Waterloo at 07:50 Three trains to London Waterloo at 07:48, 11:48, and 15:52 From a railway operation viewpoint, it has a direct train from Waterloo. For most passengers, pretty useless. Good for Civil Servants from Whitehall and Horseferry Road coming out for a...

I personally take a dog with me sometimes, and welcome intermediate drainage points, but for most users of this service direct service is more important than time taken. Changing close to the beginning and/or end of the journey can be "sold" much more easily than changing in the middle.

Keynsham has a direct IET from Paddington at 06:20 (and one the other way at 17:35) Oldfield Park has no remaining through services at all to or from London Bradford-on-Avon retains a single service to London at 05:35 (yes, a.m.) and nothing at all from London Trowbridge retains a single service...

Thank you ... funny thing about this one though - perhaps it could actually work?

Fast and regular train services connecting South Wales, North Somerset and the inner residential areas of Bristol with the Patchway, Aztec West and Westgate business areas of North Bristol, and with Bristol Temple Meads for the City Centre and ongoing train connections to the rest of the UK. Up...

Here we are two weeks later! 777 different sets of pictures have been requested, of which 315 were completed (or almost) and submitted for marking from 145 unique hosts (in other words, a lot of people had multiple goes!). The median time taken from requesting a set of pictures to...

But then I'm not giving much away if I say that there's limited South Wales content ... I didn't design this to be like those quizzes that everyone gets massively good scores in. 9 ain't shabby!

Acle?

Yes, picture 74 really IS Kingswear. Bit of a tricky one though - not somewhere that 153s go very often.

I have corrected Montpelier and made Bodmin consistently into the current name "Bodmin Parkway". In the nearly-six days the quiz has been running, around 450 sets of questions have been requested as a result of transportphoto's post on this board, and answers have been submitted for marking for...

Spellings corrected ... also double checked what I said in the blurb at the top of the quiz which is "All are within the British Isles and were reached by public transpire". Yeah, there's the odd sign around but I am not altering the quiz beyond corrections to spellings while it's running...

I will take a look though the comments above and correct my spellings! The "Heart of the network" name from promotion work I'm doing to help build passenger numbers on the Swindon to Westbury line. The line, I contend, is at the heart of the network, and the quiz asks you to identify places...

I'm very late here ... can I suggest http://melksham.cylex-uk.co.uk/company/moorlands-self-catering-holiday-homes-19727691.html Clue - Address is 1, Station Approach, Melksham :D

I live in Melksham and Z12XE is spot on - it's been that vicious circle for quite a number of years and it took county council (Wiltshire), train operator (First), our MP (Duncan Hames) and the Department for Transport to all work positively together - with Chambers of Commerce, Rail User...

Indeed - though we aren't counting our chickens quite yet. But there is joined up thinking behind it - not only the service, but all the ancillaries that go with it. And within the area served by the line, we're gearing up to make sure that it's known about, works well and becomes a key...

Nomination ... Swindon to Salisbury (Swindon - Chippenham - Melksham - Trowbridge - Westbury - Dilton Marsh - Warminster - Salisbury) Currently 2 Monday to Friday through trains per day soutbound, none northbound. Centre section of line between Chippenham and Trowbridge has just 2 trains...
